Since you are using different newsreaders it's a bit hard to
tell, but I guess if you haven't disabled ipv6 in KDE, that might
have an influence. Maybe you have already?

Be sure to use a news reader (I notice that you are using Thunderbird 1.5,
not KNode) which has the capability of multi-threaded downloading of
messages, assuming your news server supports and permits it.

There are other factors to consider, some of which relate to the current
network and system load (open a monitor to profile this). Be sure to check
if both Windows and Linux (Thunderbird) download the same number of messages
and have analogous settings. You need to benchmark this under similar
conditions. The applications' default settings may lead to significant
performance gaps.

You meant to reply to the OP? She is using Knode.

I have no problems with my news reading.
I just said so to her :)
