But first use QuickPar to check that all your files got downloaded correctly, otherwise they wont unrar successfully.
 
Hi Guys,

Hope I'm not breaking any protocols asking my question here. I'm a total newbie with nntp and I downloaded a nzb file from newsleech to see how it works. When I tried to download the files, Grabit said that the files were not on the server. I was under the impression the nzb file caches the files from the origin server to the server I've specified in Grabit?

I'm using GConnect and news.saix.net. It seems to be connecting toi the news server as far as I can gather.

Thanks.

Do not speak of such blasphemous things lol :erm:

Mebbe the nzb you downloaded is old. I personally use alt.binz so can't really help you there if the age of the nzb is not the problem. You'll have to dl from another site I rate of you want that specific file... Wait isn't that a problem which usually occurs with grabit??? Make your life easier and just use alt.binz.

You can search for a newer nzb here.

Forgive my ignorance, but is news.saix.net up and running at the moment? I haven't dealt with news servers for quite some time but fired up GrabIt today but can't get a connection. Then tried to ping news.saix.net but it simply times out. Is the news server offline permanently or only an issue today?

Or any other alternative local news servers I can use with a SAIX based account?

1) I don't think you can ping an NNTP server, it does not respond to ping requests.
2) It should still be running, but may just be extremely overloaded. That is usually the case, just leave it running and hopefully you will eventually get a gap.
3) There are no other local servers, except one very slow IS server for the IS backbone (doesn't work with SAIX).

SAIX news server = Axxess news server
They are one and the same, check the IP addresses on both and you will see.

Geesh, so I basically just got lucky with the connection then. :) I actually bought a prepaid local only Gb at Axxess so I simply could have used my WA local only account anyway, since it's the same news server. Oh well, it's cheap enough.

Just glad I'm getting full speed on the line now.

There is your problem

WA is on the IS network. Thats why you could not connect to the saix server.

Try the IS news server with your WA account. Should connect immediately

No, you get both IS local and SAIX local accounts at WA. Just depends which account you signed up for. The prepaid local accounts are on SAIX, I did a traceroute to confirm. It's indicated on their product page as well.

WA has local on the IS network too, but it's not prepaid.
