Easynews is testing their new usenet server, in December everyone can use their server for free :)

[default]

thank you soo much! i was looking around for some free news servers earlier and only found one called yottanews, which is mediocre at best. this one is working very nicely though :happy:

[MultiForce]

Thanks. Going to force this on some of my friends so they finally understands what Newsgroups is all about. Maybe they'll get their sorry asses out of the god damn P2P world! :D

[Youcef]

Thanks for info .. :)

[riceboi]

note: retention may vary from groups..
but most of it are from 8 days max!

[lukaz]

Thanks just of to test it :)

[UsenetGuy]

Wow they must have a ton of free bandwidth. People are gonna leech like theyve never leeched before :D I can only get a few KB getting headers (newsbin will only use 1 connection) but im gonna use 8 connections to download.

[Youcef]

4 connections are far enough :)

[Fbitolo]

Very nice. I was just thinking of trying them out. Thank you for the info. :)

Easynews is testing their new usenet server
Easynews Phoenix AZ USA claims that easynews.nl is no part of them.

It is running Diablo software and posts are damgaged by the Diablo posting bug.

[Damnatory]

Good find IKE, hopefully we can see a lot more people hop on the usenet train.

[SaveFerris]

Incredible, thanks for the heads up. :D

[bald1]

cheers, not tried a payserver yet so gonna give it a try :-)

[raspberry1331]

thanks for the good news.

[Vik1ng]

Wow, definitely going to check it out. Thanks for the info! :D

[General2k]

Right on
My ISPs service is good, but sometimes I cant complete everything. The free ones i have now fill in the holes pretty good though. This one looks pretty good.

Thanks alot

[Fablio]

Doesn't work here. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Fablio in your screenshot the hostname is easynews.nl but it should be news.easynews.nl :)

[Fablio]

Jaj TNX :D Stupid mistake :P

[{I}{K}{E}]

another free december account:

hostname: news.xlned.com
username: test
password: [email protected]
maxconn: 4

(not possible to upload)

[mesaman]

news.xlned.com is an alias name for news.easynews.nl

news.xlned.com is an alias name for news.easynews.nl

I know but they do not connect to the same IP ;)

Sadly im using this and well all the files keep downloading and leaving out the last couple of meg :dabs:

[mesaman]

I'm happily using this and any missing pieces are automatically filled in by slower free servers.

[Sneakydave]

thanks for this, trying newsgroups out for the first time although to be honest bittorrent seems faster, easier and im able to find more files so im not gonna end up signing up to a newshost (is that what their called?)

[meupc]

excellent news, thanks for the fine info.

thanx anyhow wil check it out

[torrentseed]

Thanks.
First time trying pay server.
Just a question... I heard Binage has invites, but is it worth digging for them?
Like speeds, retention, etc.

hi mesaman

i have downloaded a few releases which were all incomplete and now i'd like to fill the missing chunks with data from another server. is this possible and if so, how should i proceed ? thank you :)

[mesaman]

No it is not possible, except by repairing with QuickPar. You have to connect to multiple news servers simultaneously and try to download everything complete all at once. If you have downloaded incompletes and there are not enough PAR2's to repair them you will have to download them again from the beginning. The trick is to configure the newsreader to automatically fill in missing pieces from another server as the download progresses. This server might be fast but incomplete, and another might be slow but complete. They will complement each other. Be resourceful and learn how to use the best of both simultaneously.

[padawan]

ah, okay, i'm out of luck then i guess :)
thanks for the fast reply ! :D

[bsgjunkie]

Hows the upload on the first server? I have a friend working on an OSX86 build and needs an account to upload with. I'm tempted to give him my info, but would rather give him a beta account if possible.

Is the bug occuring with both upload and download?

[gamer4eva]

Good find IKE, hopefully we can see a lot more people hop on the usenet train.

Me is on the usenet train and is living life like luxary.:cool:

[mesaman]

Diablo bug is a highspeed upload bug. The posts can usually be repaired with PAR2 files.

[Fulanito]

thanx for the Info.

[grchl3]

Very cool! Thanks for the link. I wish Easynews would test out their servers more frequently. :D

[jrkeitaro]

Thanks for the info. But I only connect at 0.5 KB/s

[stephenchow]

Thank you {I}{K}{E}, even it's full of shit :P
Almost rar files I downloaded are damage or it got stucked at 20-30% and have never been finished.
Retention is short and about 6-7 days

[torrentseed]

is there a way to dl from one server and fill the incompletes from the other?
