news.mweb.co.za redirects to the saix news server address.

It isn't really worth anything at all. Rarely have any binaries, if at all. The articles aren't all accessible either.

MWeb / Maxitec / Saix newsservers all have very poor retention (about a week) and they all seem to have been down for the last two weeks.

IS is better suited for getting older articles (retention about 9 weeks) but you can't access from SAIX account. You have to cross to the Dark Side.

Now nzb's index what are on newsservers. The date an nzb is posted can differ from the article date. Also as articles are uploaded between newsservers there can be a few days discrepency. i.e. a nzb may be posted today referring to an article posted on a international server last Friday, but the article was loaded on the South African server last Wednesday.
