There is no difference between downloading from ftp-servers or from
news-servers. The only difference i can imagine is the use of a
proxy-server, available by most ISP's. If the file you want to download
is loaded before, it exists on the proxy-server. This can increase your
downloadspeed from ftp. The news-server only can send its contents
directly to your computer. If this server is "slow", your downloads
will go slow too. If you know other news-servers with better
performance, you can try if this works faster.
