hi...just would like to know if any1 else is getting really slow speeds from is new server, using grab it, im only getting 5 kb/s and running a 512 line....
 
what time did u start getting quick speeds cause i was 5 kb/s at 10 last night...im talking about the IS news server
 
i know that but the item im downloading are cached?? cause i only look at the cached section of newshost
 
Hey.

Uncached: not stored on the local IS news server and has to be retrieved from other news servers over the international satelight link = 10KB/s or less

cached: stored locally on the IS news server = line speed

Things don't seem to stay cached for long on the IS news server, so what you think is cached might have have already become uncached.

guys can we PLEASE discuss these issues on the newshost forum!
 
Mine's slow on uncached stuff, but thats normal for the end of the month!!
 
The reason why its slow is because we are talking about it here. Now the whole world and its dog is going to login and make it even slower!

Oh.You're one of those. Even you were new to it at one time. Would you have preferred no-one told you?
 
Yeah keep talking about it, that'll improve your speed (from 5kB/s to 1kB/s if you're lucky) :rolleyes:
 
For interests sake. What is the retention on the saix news server. I know that the near full speeds on uncached content pretty much makes this question pointless. Although, it would be interesting none the less to know.

Any ideas?
 
Not to be funny or anything but weren't topics like this closed for a reason on this forum before. Could someone please close this topic and anything you wish to discuss on the is newsserver please do so on newshost forums
 
@Tye

Maybe you should pull it then and cache it for everyone else!
If not and its reporting as cached on newshost then please report it as uncached, to save others from thinking that it is still cached.
 
Any1 having problems connecting to the news server this morning?
(news.is.co.za)

edit: seems to be working fine with Newsbin, but not Grabit.
