Check this thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/comme...itching_ports/
For some is working others don't. TweakNews I mean
Has anybody been having luck with 91.223.220.236 ?
Now I cannot get any more free trial with tweaknews. Always encounter this error msg "You already placed an order for this product. You can only order a single one.". Try changing the ip and email address multiple times and clearing cookies and use Torbrowser but always encounter that error msg. Anybody facing that as well?
If you have a vpn, you can use the free tweaknews server, free.tweaknews.nl,if you use a vpn server in the Netherlands. It supports 4 connections and I believe has the same retention as the regular tweak.
Xennanews has been down for awhile at least for me. Anyone having luck with it?
I can't connect to their servers for at least 2 months. It's sad to see that one gone :(Quote:

edit: nvm. everything is back to normal.
Too bad Xennanews is no longer working.
You sure you're talking about Xennanews? Do they restricted it to an ip range maybe? I tried it just now and it is not working...Quote:

Am using test.xennanews.com and is been running like the wind for the past few months. Maybe, could be due to high usage I always suffer a bit downtime after I go in a download frenzy.
Still not working :frusty:Quote:

EDIT:
Made a discovery. I put xennanews to port 563 and it works now. I thought I tried this months back and it didn't work but since the server goes down once in awhile, I might of tried it when they were down and chalked it up as a failure.
Am going to change OP to reflect this.
Nice one Sandman_1 Tested and working using bothQuote:

test.xennanews.com
And
91.223.220.236
Had to check the (SSL) box for it to work though
Thks for the info m8
I tried a few VPNs myself with no success and had already given up. Working now :)Quote:

Wish I could tell you but I didn't get in on the free sign-up in time. :frusty:
Just FYI, I added a few more Usenet freebies to the list: SnelNL (free trial no CC info) and Usenetbin.net (Free but access to only certain groups). There is nothing earth shattering about them but added them to be thorough.
I will wait for someone that has an account there to confirm it is down. If the free time is over it is a huge loss.
Thanks again for the new freebies, they might come in handy. :)
Is Xennanews substantially slower now for anyone else? I used to be pulling 10 MB/s, and now I'm capping at around 900 KB/s. Looks like there's a 25 connection limit, as well.
Consider yourself lucky because i can't even have a stable connection with their servers :(
It is always connecting and disconnecting here.
Yes indeed there is a speed reduction. I am getting around 750 KB/s with port 119 and SSL 563 (port 443 is a no go). Hopefully we will get our speed back soon.Quote:

Pretty good for a completely free service. ;)Quote:

Thanks for these
I am not having any connection problems here with Newsbin Pro and using a NL VPN server.Quote:

I am using a new fake email for free trial signups now. I was using Malinator but they are getting blocked by some of the free signups now. This one seemed to work for me,.Code:http://www.fakemailgenerator.com/
For anyone else with a free XS Usenet account, have the speeds been reduced?
I used to get between 100-200kb/s, don't remember exactly, but it was always in that area and definitely above 100kb/s. Right now I'm getting speeds ranging from about 10-45kb/s, maybe 30-35kb at most but usually in the 10-25kb/s range and occasionally dropping down to 0kb/s while shifting between 0-10kb/s.
I know I downloaded a file within the last 30 days so it was still working fine at least as of early August, but right now it's painfully slow. Is anyone else experiencing that? If not, what speeds are you getting? If it's only on my end then I can't imagine what could be causing it. Thanks in advance for any replies.
I don't really notice if there is slowdown with XS since I am using other servers. I usually can about max out my 30mbps connection with just free servers, so as long as that happens I am not complaining.
Hi all,
The 3 day settings for hitnews:.... is this correct for newsleecher.
once signed up..
free.hitnews.com
port 119
(lets just say 5 connections)..
no username or password required ??
this is the bit where i get confused, how do they know you have signed up if you don't need a username and password? I tried the username and password that i gave when signing up, but this just throws up an 502 error.... suggesting that the username/password is no good....
any ideas chaps? because I have a feeling that one can no longer do the unlimited signups with hitnews.
thanks for any help chaps..
sadsack
thanks for the post op
I never said Hitnews didn't require a username and password. You sign up and for a free trial account, which involves a username and password.Quote:

Only free solution working good so far is test.xennanews.com
Free Tweak is still working. Are you using a NL proxy or VPN?Quote:
