Serious? Man that sucks, I also wanted to grab some news.

Oh yeah CW news working.

Yeah...2000 day server retention doesn't mean much when the DMCA takes down everything >.<
At that point is when I hit up torrents to redownload stuff. Which I hate doing, as it costs me time and CW money.

Same here. I thought it was because of bad nzb files.

News only works when sickbeard grabs them when they first come out at 3am before they get taken down from my experience. Best to catch up with torrents.

So if there are missing articles, does that mean it has been taken down?

I think so.

If I stop my downloads at 6am, then resume at midnight, I have missing blocks. If I let them finish (normally around 8am), then they are fine.

Just got my account details for tomorrow and it's already working! I did not get the news server login details though.

If I retry it two or three times it usually completes. Is just on the CW news server I'm having this issues, doesn't matter if my sickbeard grabbed it immediately or if you download it manually later, but it seems the server is now completely broken. Never have an issue on Tweaknews.

 

[Rohan]

Could someone post the news server address and ports please? can't seem to find it.

No (unless you'd like us to) please use one of the login details and contact support.

Hmm, testing out the capped account that is supposed to be 100% unshaped...only getting 4m speed on 10m line with NNTP. What gives?

Getting good results on speed test.

12AM and NNTP download speeds dropped to 2m. Not a good start

 

[Bona Botse]

My interwebs just died... Anyone else?

 

[Rohan]

Mine is fine on all fronts except for NNTP which appears to be heavily shaped. (not using crystalweb's news server)

Had to reboot my router and now it won't reconnect... Eish
