newshost.co.za?? :eek:

Think it is
newshost.za.net

Thats the only one I know of,

news.is.co.za is only the IS server you download the NZb with. :rolleyes:
 
I'm getting 404 errors on newshost.za.net, which started a couple of days ago. At work (Uncapped IS connection), I get to the log in page, and can log in, but then it gives me either a 404 error or an internal server error (it varies) where the nzb listing should be. On my computer at home (openweb 40gb local + webafrica 5gb), it gives me 404 errors as soon as I click on the link to go to the login page. Anyone have any ideas?
 
If anyone has something decent to download from News Server or locally send me a PM with a link :) Thanks
 
Something thats worth downloading :) Just something to keep me entertained, or something that will assist me to do stuff, I dunno, something useful :)
 
News server been going nicely today? Getting decent transfer speeds on uncached files and full speed as per usual on cached.

Maybe some/most users have intl-local accounts, so they are shy on using the intl bandwith?

Do you think it depends on the amount of users??
 
For the above post, I have a few theories regarding that.

The previous month I remember having good speeds the first few days and then it went down to 20k/s average for the rest of the month untill I got hard capped at 32gb :(

Yesterday the 1st when I downloaded something which I am pretty sure was not cached I recieved a full downloading speed at 51k/s whilst still doing other things on the line (email/browsing/web downloads ect).

So I have 2 theories which I can't really prove but non the less.

Theory1
While people with 3/30gb accounts are still not soft capped they spare the bandwidth for some obscure reason or rather use it internationally before using the IS news server. Sounds cheesy but possible I guess.

Theory2
The IS news server somehow know when your IS adsl account is soft capped or not and depending on that it allows you more bandwidth from their upstream host if something is not cached.
 
Anyone else having problems? Getting the "unable to connect" situation
 
Mine is running fine, uncached @ 30-40kb/s. Hasnt dropped below that since 01/02/07. IS has beefed up the speeds a bit.
