I thought I was going crazy!!!
Version 1.1.0 introduced a performance bug when downloading over VPN. At first, I just figured my VPN provider was having transient issues, but after I eliminated that as a problem, I ran a bunch of different tests using both 1.1.0 and the prior 1.0.3 version.

1.1.0 30 6.4MB 48KB

8 1.4MB 32KB
6 1.1MB 650KB ***
1.0.3 30 6.2MB 2.0MB
15 3.3MB 1.3MB
I'm running on Windows. The 1.1.0 upgrade was done "in-place", but I performed my tests by downloading the 1.0.3 binaries, placing them in a peer folder under \Program Files(x86), and then changing the folder names to swap back-&-forth between versions to do the testing.
I've reverted to 1.0.3 for the time being, but I kept my "test infrastructure" in case y'all need me to test something.
[NOTE: My usenet provider supports up to 30 connections, I did not attempt to test any more than that.]
