Is likely your ISP's newserver limits bandwidth by the connection.  
Try dropping the connection count to 2 in pan as a quick and simple  
bandwidth limit experiment. I've seen 50k bytes/sec to 120k bytes/sec  
per connection with some news servers.

Both FreeBSD and MacOS X include ipfw as a firewall option. Within  
ipfw one may use dummynet for traffic shaping, including bandwidth  
limiting.
