Hey, has any of you guys experienced the same loading problems with Newshost.za.net?

Whenever I go to the site it gives some php errors eg:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in D:\newshost.za.net\newshost\auto_login.php on line 52
 
Getting the same (login) hassle with them. Don't know wasup though. Post when you can connect please. I'll also keep trying on this side.
 
Whilst on the topic of Newshost.

I have never uploaded anything, but as far as I understand all I need to do is locate a nzb file on newsleech.com and post it on newshost.za.net

Is that how it works?
 
must be a CIA conspiracy against you trek_mambo... I'm sure that if you checked youtube you'll find a video that confirms it :D
 
Thats what I dont get, I have a IS local 30 gig account so what news server should I be using? Does it matter? If I understand it, SAIX is better news server. What difference would it make on the account one uses?

If you're accessing the internet via saix you need to use the saix server and if youre accessing vis IS you are limited to the IS server - if you join a paid news service such as Easynews you can access it through any ISP.
Nice, so that means I can download nzb files from newsleech and download via SAIX?
you can download nzb's from anywhere.
 
You need an IS account to use the IS news server, and a SAIX account to use the SAIX news server... really simple. Both suck at the moment, because more and more people keep finding out about them, due to threads on popular forums, like this. Sigh :P

As far as I know, you use SIAX or IS entirely based on your ISP. Because the news servers are hosted by your ISP? So logistically using someone elses server wont work because you don't have a account with their ISP.

That's just my n00b opinion though.

My problem is important though... because if I can simply download nzb files from international sites like newsleech.com instead of newshost.za.net it will litarally be a Blessing from God because then my downloading will become unlimted to what people upload to newshost:p

Yeah, if you're looking for japanese porn and more music. A lot of the other stuff makes it onto newshost...
 
Damnit I wish I read through all the newshost help pages earlier. I feel like I have been blind, deaf and senseless. Good news is that I will now be downloading twice the amount I have been so effectively clogging up SIAX aswell ;)
