For the past few days, I've been getting really poor performance with these
newgroups (use Outlook Express 6 as my NNTP reader), and sometimes it will
completely fail download a message, and I have to go to the Web interface to
read it. Is there some kind of problem with the NNTP server, or am I just
lucky?
 
Me too on multiple machines. I'm guessing it has something to do with the
barrage of virus posts. it seems to have gotten better today.
 
As William surmised, it has indeed been because of Spam for about the last week and a half it has been really high due to the virus. Hopefully performance will improve as the
messages containing the virus are neutralized.. (It does seem a little faster today than yesterday)

Well, that would explain it. It does seem to be better today. I wasn't
sure whether there was a problem with the server, with our firewall/internet
connection, or with my machine.

Thanks for the feedback!
