I have problem with xennanews and xsusenet. Both are not working even if I have registered for the latter one.

Yea same here.

XSUsenet works for like a day and then stops after a new sign up.

Xennanews hasn't worked for me for at least 2 days and that what using the non-ssl connection

**Placenta** · 02-09-2015, 06:04 AM

Yep, been pretty much dead for me also

**Whiner** · 02-10-2015, 02:51 PM

Ditto, xennanews doesn't work for me either. must me dead.

**perry261** · 02-14-2015, 11:38 PM

test.xennanews.com does not work for me. looks like the site is dead.

**sandman_1** · 02-15-2015, 02:58 PM

Xennanews is back up. I have been using it for the past couple days.

free.tweaknews.nl is gone I guess. Maybe the Highwinds acquisition had something to do with it?

Lookup failed: free.tweaknews.nl Host not found

Whois query for free.tweaknews.nl...
Results returned from whois.domain-registry.nl:
Error: invalid domain name

Update: Made some changes to the free servers section for

Code:

free.news.newzfinders.com

. Be sure to check it out if you are not utilizing this free service.

For the people having issues with Xennanews, I found an interesting post.
Simply read the entire thread, the last post is priceless.

Looks like free.tweaknews.nl is dead now all thanks to the Highwinds acquisition. I updated my guide to reflect that.

So far the ones that are still working are Xenna, Newzfinders, Newszilla IPv6, and Weathergirl IPv6.

XSUsenet is still a no go for me even with a new signup. Anyone have any luck with it?

xsusenet is working now. good speed.

Thanks for the information about xennanews.

Xennanews has been offline for weeks now. I hope it isn't gone for good. I heard something about the XSNews IPv6 free server run has ended. Could be related? I don't know.

Be sure to also use port 119 after you turn off SSL. I forgot that and SABnzbd wouldn't connect...

many thanks for sharing setting for xennanews.
