Slow TcpClient

[Mantorok]

Hi all

I'm writing a newsgroup reader in C# and I've found the TcpClient to be
extremely slow, when downloading a list of newsgroups for example it runs at
about 8Kb/sec over a 2Mb/sec connection.

Any ideas? Is this just the way it is??

Thanks
Kev

Try using Thunderbird to download the list of groups. If it is just as
slow, then it would be either the connection or the news server. I use
Thunderbird for mail and news and get very fast downloads on my 7Mbs
connection.

If Thunderbird downloads fast for you, then it would be something in
your code. You would have to post the code that does the downloading to
have others help you with it.

I don't mean to be negative here :) but I just have to ask. Why another
news reader? Or is it just an exercise so you can develop skills with the
network communication classes?
