IS News Server down?

[silkman]

Could be - but are you sure they're rar files? There are other methods people use to split files.

definitely rar files.

Using Newsbin, at the bottem left corner it shows you the d/l speed.

But why is there 2??

It looks like this: 64.4kbps/8.2KBps (have a 512k line)

thanks

64.4 kilobits per second, or 8.2 kilobytes per second. It's the same thing.

damn that was weird, suddenly on IS my gateway ip just disappeared and was unable to do anything...

 

[Freaksta]

Suddenly Im maxing out.. i mean its like staying on 39.6k the WHOLE time... Pretty kiff

In grabit all i see is a straight line

 

[Omac]

Using Newsbin

For the time being I only used one news server (with 4 connections) .

So I import the nzb and start downloading, but the size of each file is just 0/19.8 MB [81], in the left corner it says I'v downloaded 800mb. But only 3 files has a box that is totally red (the current progress)

Please help

Gora, dont user Newsbi, its really buggy on the IS newservers, change to Grabbit, its free at www.grabbit.com. Once u downloaded it set up the news servers with 4 connections each, then before downloading anything make sure u click update groups or refresh grouplist. Its as simple as that

NZB for newsbin and grabit

Using one nzb, for grabit it says can't connect, but for newsbin it connects.
Why?

 

[ZuBS_]

Dont know, thats weird, trust m, use Grabbit, its better. Also use atleast 2 servers with a total of 8 connections.

Yeeeeehaw

 

[kiepie]

I try to use 8 connections, only 7 works.
Is that normal?
What is the average of the newsservers?

Is 20kb/s on 512 okay?

Thanks

Seems like only 3 connections max are working on the 196.35.123.198 IP (think it's the news.is one). I'm also only getting 7 connections in total using both servers.

There seem to be problems with certain groups as well. a.b.m.divx is dropping left right and centre.

Gone back to SAIX until they sort things out irrespective of how long it takes.

 

[Freaksta]

[Freaksta]
