I'm still having problems with my News Downloads..

Most of the time mail only downloads it only gets to speeds of 
450-500cps.  

I've once or twice managed to get a connection at 1200ish cps.  
However annoyngly this is when I've only got a couple of news to 
download (grrr. !)

I've heard rumours that this problem is caused by one of demon's 
newsservers and re-send problems ???

Has anyone found a definite way of fixing the problem... that doesn't 
have any side effects ???  

BTW: I've no idea what rtt, mru and all those other things at the 
start of STartup.NOS mena or do, so if you really want to help maybe 
you could explain what some of these mean and how they affect the 
sessions, and how changing them will speed up my new download


Thanks in advance.
