News download very slow

Hey,

Hope this is in the right section. My news feed is very, very slow. This problem started around a month ago - I was running 0.8.4 (I think) at that stage. I'm now on 0.8.11. I've 2 newspaper sources scheduled to download on Saturday afternoon, but when I try to download them they're just so slow now, as in, saying it will take 45 minutes, 2 hours...I don't have any other large files running. Is there an issue with downloading the news outside of the time you've set it to? Or how can I fix this?

Thanks

Try some other recipes and see if they have speed issues. It could be the source, it could be that they have many images or complex formatting and you are converting them, it could be your system, it could be your network connection. (It's not the download time, unless your network speed is slow at that time.)

Thanks Well, somehow it worked, not sure why as I didn't make any changes. I suspect it will become problematic again. Will explore the recipes section.
