News server related queries

Yes, I use it. I'm on IS as well. Goes 400-420KB/sec. Sometimes during the month they do something as astraweb, can become useless, but then it's back up to full speed in a couple of hours.

Hi guys,

Does anyone know of any good free international NZB sites? I know of nzbmatrix.com, but it only allows downloads of new nzbs (up to 25days) on free registration. :(

Any suggestions / recommendations?
Thanks :)

Well you have two options;

1. If it's really not a valid .rar file then either download the file again or find another .nzb

2. Sometimes the extension gets confused, so simply rename the file with the .rar extension and it should work (assuming you have winrar or similar)

Hope this helps.

Did the file have .par files? If it did DL QuickPar-0.9.1.0 and try a repair, there is sometimes some blocks missing and you cannot extract it.
 
Hi guys, forgive me if this has been asked before, but some of my nzb's that are queued don't download. :-? The servers show 0kb/s and it cycles through the articles and nothing downloads... I am currently 4% on a file thats 126 days old. another file thats 2.2 days old also wont download.. Any suggestions / help would be appreciated! :)

BTW. Im using Alt.binz.
 
Does any1 know if the WA Trial Newz server is still up? It says it is connected but going at 0kb/s! I am using news.wa.co.za with 2 connecs.

Are there any alt for the WA trial?

EDIT: It is downloading iratically.. like 20kb/s.. 0kb/s.. 20kb/s etc
