IS news server down?

[Zyzzyva]

Hi,

Anyone also having problems with the IS news server. It seems to have been down for me since last night?

Same here.

I'm going to be positive for a change and say they are improving the retention to 30 days.

Less than likely. Easynews outages are few and far between but then you get what you pay for I suppose.

On a positive note, i have noticed what seems to be a slight increase in uncached speeds over the last 4 days or so. Before that, it seems to be dipping to well below 10Kbps, averaging around 6-8Kbps.

I seem to be sitting at around 10-12Kbps at the moment.

I'm sure IS realize anything below 10 is simply not acceptable.

From a purely economic standpoint, what would be the logic behind not increasing the retention to around a week or 2? Surely it would lower the international bandwidth usage by lowering the constant need to re cache stuff.

What are your thoughts?

 

[talon]

Couldn't agree more, it just doesn't make any sense.

 

[crysis]

Yep. I sure would hope they get it all fixed up..
Quite honestly id rather have faster speeds than more retention at this stage.

[Zyzzyva]

[acidrain]

[milomak]

Keep talking about it. Then don't complain when you can't access it.

It's been said many times before, there is a forum dedicated to these discussions. Bringing attention to the thing on a large forum such as this attracts thousands of noobs to sign up, reducing speeds for existing users.
