Re: Netgear FSV318v3 firewall drastically slows down my connection

As does Emacs - but I don't particularly like any of those clients
either. If you don't like the way Google handles groups then complain
to them. It's not necessary for you to tell me what client I should use
- if you don't like what you see, then just ignore me! I'm sure there's
a "Block this sende" in your client!
--->That's no excuse, PAN and ThunderBird do Usenet without any
problems.

Sure I do - at least to some extent- but I simply didn't expect
performance to be impacted THAT much. I'm not (nor to I want to be) a
firewall expert. "Cheap" is a relative term - I remember when a 300
baud modem cost thousands of dollars - now a broadband modem costs $50.
Cheap does not imply subpar.
--->Then you don't understand features and how the impact performance.
Like
it or not, it's a CHEAP device and you should expect some trade-offs vs
a real firewall.

Thank you - it must be nice to be you - all-knowing and so forth. I
guess I'm just not as smart as you - I hope there's still room for me
on the planet!
I wonder where in the store I could have read the throughput spec? The
very detailed product specs on the side of the box (which I did read in
the store, taking more than 5 minutes) didn't include the throughput
number - otherwise I would have noticed it immediately. Is it your
conjecture that people should never go to a store for anything without
having done a detailed analysis in advance? Where is the time for such
analysis? The good news is that the store will take the product back.
--->Your assumptions are not reasonable, they were ignorant and ill
informed. If you took 5 minutes to read the specs on the device you
were
purchasing you would have seen the real performance stats.
