Thanks.

It's now back to constantly giving me 436 errors now, just as it connects and then it drops. So I guess they are being a bit flaky again now.

Funny thing this news server, to the user if feels broken, while infact the server is working harder than ever... oh well I guess we are screwed untill we get cheep int.

Furthermore! By my culculations local torrents are not too ***, since you have to uplaod what you download your max "overall" download speed is limmeted to 640kbps(on a 4mb line) , while on a (working) news server your download speed can be about 3500kbps (on a 4mb line) however on the torrents u can do during buisness hours!

Is the SAIX2 server still running? I thought the trial ended 31 January?

I think it might be a good idea to just hang on and have patience as the trial is probably continuing.. it is after all just that, a trial.. so you can't expect it to be up all the time. I'm sure in a month or 2 things will be running smoothly again. :hope:

maybe they did end the trial? Hopefully they are making plans to bring it back permanently.
