Pada, http downloads work fine at full speed. The nzb i was downloading was the latest topgear episode which i'm pretty sure is cached. tried other nzb's without any luck. would it not have anything to do with my ip address being in the 41.... range?

thatcap: try downloading that NZB that I gave.
The IP address doesn't matter. As long as you can connect, you should be able to download from the server.

Sounds like thatcap is having exactly the same problem as me, it's like it recognizes that a server is there but acts like nothing is on there. Any age NZB, cached or not cached, ones that were working the day before, off peak hours, weekends, any time at all! Is there any way to force a telkom account to connect to another IP range? Those for whom it is working, what is your ip address when connected?
http://www.whatismyip.com/ Says mine is 41.146.xxx.xxx
As I say what irks me is that it's working for other people! If I can't have it no one else can! Haha. Or they can just fix it and we'll all be happy. :-D.

Yobokkie & thatcap: try the following IP address 196.43.2.61 for the SAIX news server instead.
Are you guys already capped? I think you do get a different IP as soon as you get capped and reconnect to the Telkom DSL account.

weird thing, i Just used up my international cap and immediately after that the news server is working again. Coincidence or not, sure is weird. Pada how do i specify an Ip address for the news server? i'm not super clued up in the networking department!

its as simple as: instead of using news.saix.net, use 196.43.2.61

Sorry i never knew you could do that. Mine is up and working fine now - STOKED!. Yobokkie, are you capped yet?
Lol, I killed my friends 1 gig account! And now it works... ok Pada you rock my world man, kudos to you, they should make you a head honcho here or something. It wasn't working because I usually just kill it with NZBs but now that it's capped it works?? WEIRD! But thank you very much, I'm still going to spam telkom just to annoy them, especially since this seems to be a problem based on IP addresses. :-S
Now to grab those NZBs while they're still fresh.

I'm also having the same problem with the SAIX news server. However I am capped (on Do2) or suppose to be capped, but I've discovered that when the news server isn't working, I got full international access. However I'd much rather have local only and a working news server. This sucks.
