Newshost is not the only place to get NZB files.

There are plenty sites (international) that host nzb files. You can search google for them.

This thread has nothing to do with torrents. Please don't ask torrent-related stuff in here, stick to the topic. (and the topic is the news server, NOT newshost)

I keep on getting this mesage when i go to the newshost website when i use my cybersmart account.

(You are seeing this page because the current domain is not configured in the current set of name servers or your domain is being parked.
This is usually just a temporary error while the domain is being added. Once the domain is configured this page will expire and your correct site will be shown.

If your system administrator is having you use the wrong resolving name servers you will want to notify them of this mistake right away.
If you are looking for free resolving name servers (for desktop and personal computers) we suggest you use the free service at Resolving Name Server.)

When i use my local only account it works fine.
What can i do to fix this problem.

Thanks

Can you ping thm assasin?

Think Saix server is also down (both that is) =S...

anyone confirm? try to ping just got timeouts...

 

[gripen]

both servers are up and working. They just don't respond to pings. Probably for security reasons. news.is.co.za (or vasbyt.isdsl.net) does respond to pings though.

The SAIX news servers are shaped during business hours. You won't get a stable connection between 8 am and 6 pm on working days.

"Past couple of days" it's been like that (i.e over weekend as well as after hours)
