please try the primary news server as the premium news server is down at the moment
 
Does anybody have an update on the news server?

What bothers me is that the complete outage of the server is not even mentioned on the network and server status page. Not cool.

It's really criminal that DJ was banned. He used to keep his customers in the loop pretty much every day in these threads.

I'd love to buy MyBB just to fire whoever screwed this forum over by banning DJ. He and MickeyD were by far the most valuable members here.

With you there Buddy!

I'm busy downloading an nzb at 3+MB/s in Newsbin Pro. I'm not sure how it's working, as the log tab says that the premium server is not accepting my login request and that the IS server is not responding. Yet those are the only two servers I have configured in Newsbin. I'm already over 900MB into the file, so it seems like it will be able to download it. :wtf:
 
Added news.is.co.za as a server and it seems to be working fine for now. Will use that in the interim.
 
What ports/settings?

news.is.co.za
port 119

No auth required


news1.crystalweb.co.za works for me as well. Same details as above. Is this a Redirect to news.is.co.za? Haven't gone through the trouble of tracing it.

Can't connect to the premium one though
 
I'm sure everybody got the mail, but here is a copy.

"A Maintenance Update Has Been Posted During the course of our maintenance window, a critical fault was uncovered. This has required new hardware and a new configuration of various components that are integral to the premium news server service. We expect the final configurations to take place by CoB Monday 6 February. Rest assured, the premium news server has not been deprecated, as has been speculated. We apologise for the inconvenience, and encourage you to switch the our standard news server as an interim measure. Feb 4, 01:44 SAST
 
Thanks for the info Hectic.

I did not receive that mail. In fact the last mail I got from CW except the daily usage mail and invoice was 23 Jan talking about rewards of you find bugs on the portal.

May be I'll get a mail saying the nntp servers are fix, mayb not.

It's not a mail, it's a tweet by their support organization.
