This is what was happening before scalable news broke a few weeks 
back. Either it was running in bursts and halting for a bit, or it was 
running flat out all the time with loads of resent packets. Maybe it 
will settle down in a bit.

Last time scalable news was running, I decided I would see if I could 
tweek Nos to see if the problem was my end. Sensibly I waited quite a 
while to get the "feel" of scalable news - it promptly broke so I 
never got the chance :-(

Btw, I'm fairly sure the problem is their end. I just wanted to see if 
I could improve it until they sorted the problem out.
