IS news server?!?

[cmcbugg]

wow thanks for that - i too was a fan of newsleecher (until the recent IS problems with incomplete downloads) - but SABnzdb is so simple its great and it works well.

ok not so sure about SABnzdb anymore -- all my downloads from last night are courrupted - the downloaded filesize is correct though so it's not easy to see which files are corrupted without running quickpar - and retrying a download with SABnzdb isn't particularily easy either - so back to newsleecher for me I think.

I've been downloading every day for the last couple of days with Grabit and I haven't had any corruptions at all. Grabit FTW!

hmmmmmm strange i been using SABnzbd for the last few days...and have absolutely had no hassles with it...i even decided to test it during the day....as daytime downloading will surely give me corrupted files...and the result is NONE....evenings have been a pleasure...tho it sumtimes fluctuates but files remain intact....

i think i spoke to soon when i said that - there was something wrong with the files posted - it wasnt SABnzdb --- so part from that particular incident ive had no other problems or corruptions with SABnzdb.
