Can confirm that Free Tweak is working, just started a free trial. 8 connections, speeds are great.
Xennanews has been down a lot lately, and even when it's up the connection speeds aren't nearly as good as they once were. Overall can't complain when it's up, for a free service it does the trick
Hi there Sandman What other particular news servers do u use for free if u don't mind me asking thnx:whistling
Just the ones posted.Quote:

You should be able to use it. The speed is OK but the retention is where free tweak shines. I think it is the same as a paid Tweaknews account, 800-1100 days.
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.
Xennanews is working. You have to turn SSL off.Quote:

Long-time Usenet user, but with files getting harder to find (in my experience anyway), would like to figure out how to make REQuests.
Googled for help, but seems to turn up a lot of old posts, including this helpful one from 2009 that led me here.
Am also an old IRC user, found my way to EFnet, but I don't see any of these Usenet channels anymore there. For instance, i'd like to find a.b.teevee @ EFnet.
Much appreciated if someone could advise as to how to find these Usenet IRC channels. Cheers.
I am also having troubles with xennanews. Im using these settings: hostname:test.xennanews.com port:563 connections:4
No uname/pw or SSL. But I get (10061, 'Failed to connect: (10060, "(10061, \'Connection refused\')") [email protected]:563')
Any ideas?
Be sure to also use port 119 after you turn off SSL. I forgot that and SABnzbd wouldn't connect...Quote:

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 :(
Yep, been pretty much dead for me also :cry:
Ditto, xennanews doesn't work for me either. must me dead.
test.xennanews.com does not work for me. looks like the site is dead.
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? :unsure:
Update: Made some changes to the free servers section forQuote:
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
. Be sure to check it out if you are not utilizing this free service. :DCode:free.news.newzfinders.com
For the people having issues with Xennanews, I found an interesting post.
Simply read the entire thread, the last post is priceless.
Code:https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/comments/2jmhuv/xsnews_ipv6_free_service_closes_1_year_30_coupon/
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 taking the time to update.
Much appreciated.
Thanks for the tip about Newzfinders, I'll try that one out!
Nice find with Newzfinders!
Is anyone else having trouble authenticating with free.news.newzfinders.com? I tried a few of the user/password combinations but this server never works for me. The rest work fine!
I am having the same problem with newzfinder on my third username and password
Yea I have the same issues on some of the servers but usually I can lock in 2-3 of them to max out my connection.
Alternatively to what I posted, you can use "view source" in Chrome to get a view like this:
The top ones are usually the most recent.HTML Code:

Vitesse=Speed of connection
Ilimité=Unlimited
CombienPrit= I think it means how many connections to that server are allowed overall. Combien is "how many" in English so if the server connections exceed that amount then you will get a refusal of connection I suppose.
Maybe some French national :) can enlighten us on the the ones I have no idea about like :
:unsure:HTML Code:<PERMETGENERE>1</PERMETGENERE><PERMETGENERENZFPROXY>1</PERMETGENERENZFPROXY><CODEPOURNZF>796</CODEPOURNZF>
PERMETGENERE is either "allow to generate" or "allow generated", depending on where the missing diacritics should be, which makes PERMETGENERENZFPROXY "allow (to generate|generated) [via/through?] NZF proxy". CODEPOURNZF means "code for NZF".
Here's a horribly written user script that will parse ListServ.php's output into something more readable :happy:

Thanks Anon! Can you tweak it to put the latest dates at top of page?
Maybe I turn the page into a table and make it sortable by any criterion. Will look into it.Quote:

FYI, on Newzfinders, you can use the single connection servers (i.e. free.news.su.newzfinders.com) up to 5 times to get more connections from that server.
Just create copies of the same server + details over and over.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the share and info sandman_1....
Here's the noobtime bit coming up.....
If I go to the link listed... http://newzfinders.com/NewsAccFree/L...ILD=017&BETA=1
The page I Have come up only says this....
ERROR Il vous faut au minimum la version beta 017
As mentioned in the first part of the tut..... inspect element shows only the item above and the rest of the page is blank....
I read this piece,... 2. Once you have the correct BUILD number in the link, you should be presented with a webpage like this: and even went to there main page to check on any build numbers and it's the same. beta 017.
So could someone kindly point me in the right direction,... preferably not the exit... lol
cheers chaps..
sadsack.
update, tried again.... this time I had a french error page that came up, a translation into English gave me this... "version 1.1.0 is available! Download the latest version."
update.... sussed it chaps....
The beta has been changed to 018
In the link, change the 17 to 18Quote:

Yep all done, Semli,
4 out of the ten working,...... They must be being hit hard,.. many of then say "too many users"..
But deffo worth the time and patience setting up.
I actually got that, "ERROR Il vous faut au minimum la version beta 017", which is what I had in the link. I figured it was just a typo and amended the link with 018 and it worked.
This worked for me http://newzfinders.com/page.php?page=2#BETAQuote:

I have been getting authentication errors with Xennanews. If you go to their website, http://test.xennanews.com/, maybe the free ride is over?
Just got curious and thought I would do a look up for the servers on Newzfinders and this is what I got:
free.news.newzfinders.com = Hitnews
free.news.xe.newzfinders.com = Xennews
free.news.su.newzfinders.com = Sunny Usenet
free.news.ew.newzfinders.com = Eweka
trial.news.newzfinders.com = XS Usenet
Up to you if you want to use it, something written quickly to extract the info. Windows only.
