Hi Decado,

We have no reported outage/issues from our side regarding the MWEB news server.

Kind regards,

@MWEB Guy

Mine don't seem to be working but everything else is 100%. I can browse, hit youtube, even download regular stuff. It just sits there saying "Connecting" then times out after a bit. Any ideas?
 
Quick question, are news servers shaped during the day? Contemplating whether i should get a news server account or stick with torrents.
 
50kbs 24/7, never goes up even after 12 am uncached content speed stays the same.

why i do this.

stuff under a gig i use a the news server as its normally cached and the rest i torrents.

or you can buy a 3rd paty news server , then you can use news for everything and get decent speeds.
 
Anyone else's megaupload speeds being unstable/slow? Getting about 33 - 42kbs on 1mb line
 
:O Dropped all the way down to 6-12kbs now.

EDIT: Going to turn off my modem and router for a bit and hope that, that helps.

Everything is working perfectly for me including torrents, but newservers on newsgroupdirect & astraweb are maxing out at around 10kb/s all afternoon and evening so far.
 
My connection is running fine, have a few problems with modem sync but that is telkom related... they are sorting it out...
 
I think it is partly due to my new router setup. I have a dedicated ADSL router now (D-link DSL-2500U) that is running in bridge mode. The connection is dailed from an upmarket TrendNet TEW-691GR gigabit Wireless 450mbps router. This combo is way more stable than my previous all-in-one wifi/adsl modem devices.

Many times people blame Mweb when the problem is actually with their routers.
