'Zero Day' Hasn't Budged, Probably won't for 'Forever'

Exactly what 'causes' the missing files, whether bad uploads, bad servers, bad downloads, or 'take-downs', is always going to be a question.

'Back in the Day' (i.e., before back checking uploaders like JBinUp), and still today with a huge amount of traffic coming off the various PowerPost types, unless the uploader follows 'good practice' that part of the equation is still a goodly percentage of problems, and perhaps that's why the DVD (as opposed to BR/HD stuff) seems to have a larger 'total' share of problems (those BR/HD files are HUGE, and using older posting s/w is problematic, I know from personal experience).

The second part, the servers, has gotten to the point of near zero, at least the best ones. And D/L'ing has gotten very fast and very good as well, leaving the 'take-downs' the last part, perhaps the 'fills' server could help. But it appears that it takes a fair amount of figuring to really know for sure if something actually did.

I'm still using Camel PP, has there even been any new posting software lately? Actually what's the newest one that you're using and is it still being developed? I remember when doing the research on all of the posters, the selection seemed to be pretty shite.

@ mjmacky - if you might want to look through old discussion threads from a few months ago, I believe Beck has posted results of his rather in-depth research on usenet posting software.

I kinda remember those... didn't I even post in them? Anyways, I guess that answers the question of stagnancy.

Edit:
I just checked it and the recommendation was Jbinup... I just don't know about it

Have been experiencing the same phenomenon ... searching on Binsearch ... nothing ... searching for the same string on another indexer ... bingo ... it's there :blink:

Once they got it to work and stable with Astraweb (they use an older form of indexing due to their s/w plant), development kinda slowed down to a crawl, but all the stuff based on PowerPost (Camel Systems included) really only are tweaks around the edges.

JBinup is, I believe, the only 'block level checking' uploading s/w out there, It really is the only choice, particularly when dealing with large/verylarge files at high/veryhigh speeds. Some don't like the fact it's Java based, but like Sabnzbd,, works just find by me.

I thought Sabnzbd was python, am I confused about something? I think I'm going to try it out, when messing around with sabnzbd I realize one of my uploads is really messed up. It comes up as having all parts when searched on nzbindex but when I use Alt.binz or sabnzbd to grab it, so many parts missing.

So anyway if I'm peeved about jbinup I'll complain here or that other old thread.

Jbinup cant utilize my 50+mbit upload for some reason.. yet camelpost does the job right with only 12 connections
Are there some tricks?

i can get max 4.3MB with 20 connections.. and its lower than using camelsystem iwith 12 connections

and adding large releases to jbinup is a pain - kinda slow

When you say large releases, are you talking # of files or total filesize?

i meant adding lots of files.

but on the other hand camelsystem just doesnt let you add a large ammount of files
when u click "add" it just closes "add new upload" window lol

anyways ive tried easy usenet uplaoder, camelsystem and jbinup

EUU= 3.3MB max speed (12 was very slow, used 20)
JbunuP=4.3+ MB max(sometimes 4.5) (the same)
CAMEL=5.5+ MB max (only 12 connections)

got no idea why =)
