BITCH! connected to my webafrica prepaid and forgot nzb client open, 6mins and 170mb raped :(
 
Hmm, not too shabby, if you running at full 4mbit speeds you could do that in 13hours or so....

Im more worried about hard drive space...
 
Erm, only time i use SAIX is with my 1gb prepaid when IS is doing its thing...
 
Jeez, this thread is still going strong hey?
Just downloaded a couple of stuff from news.is.co.za and its still going. Wonder what will happen if other isp's start to offer free news servers with binary support heard in some other thread that ODS is negotiating with some usenet provider. Well until that and while my 30gb local only account still has some gigs left, news.is.co.za here I come! :D
 
Just a what if question.

What if i were to put in the myadsl classifieds a tutorial on how to get faster IS news server speeds and charge like R50 for it. Money back if there is not a speed increase?

Am i allowed to do so?
 
Then everybody would flock to that method and then IS and Sneaky would both be crawling :(
 
Mine is also a bit slow, but I think its because the content is still not entirely cached. However this past week, IS has been extremely slow for me during the day from 8 o clock till 5 pm in the evenings, dont know about you guys ? In my book something is not right with IS...

All the Cached stuff only seems to be half cached, the rest is uncached.
 
i gave up with isnews

use giganews and finished. Less hassles
And I used to be a big supporter.

What the heck am I supposed to do with 30gig local, brightspark?

What exactly are you downloading? Barring the cached files on newshost (porn and tv series..yay), the majority of stuff - whether 2 days old or 30 days old - is missing.
