blab bla bla on the facts of numerous screwed on the SERVER side uploads and visible slowed processing. haha

learn to read and train ur brain, AW fanboy, obviously there is something seriously wrong with ur understanding and logic and also knowledge of how things work.
But i shouldnt be surprised judging by ur utterly stupid suggestion considering tracert on a matter of article not found from all AW servers..

@Hypatia, would you calm down?

The thing is, the last time I had something similar to what you are describing, was actually a problem on my ISP. Weird, no ?
But it all got sorted out in a week or so.

Maybe that's the case, maybe that's not. But one thing is for sure, sooner or later that problem will go away.

ASTRAWEB CONFIRMED PROBLEMS AND FIXED IT (for now)

Well..... unlike others who sit on their fat arses and bullshit honest people that everything is OK with AW I contacted the representative of AW on newsbin forums yesterday , presented him the information and the timeframe when shit happens usually, and he acknowledged the problem

Honestly you making much of nothing here, it's common knowledge that this happens every month with Astraweb, shit happens, and next be smart about posting to Giganews? It does't really matter they still find posts, most people like to post for the people not some hidden random shit that only certain people can find, hell I posted someting via Astraweb and someone got a DMCA via Giganews and it wasn't me :P

I've been posted for 2+ years via Astra and have not had any issues, just some caused by my ISP.

The biggest point I think I seen you describing is the "EFNET" people, the EFNET people aren't people at ALL (sure there are fillers but mainly it's bots), but merely nice IRC bots that we/they have. So, the fucked up posts are not a issue since the files can reposted in a matter of seconds. Why sure it's a annoyance, but since Astrawb is NOT US based like Giganews they are rarely affected by DMCA, unless you count Super Mario Brothers for the Wii :)

Wait are you telling me that actual troubleshooting with a Astraweb Rep fixed your problem? Isn't that what I said to do? :huh:

Also other people might of been fine uploading stuff but that doesn't mean they are wrong and you are right or vice versa.

At the end of the day, it most probably is a case of the tail wagging the dog, i.e., the provider 'tweaked' their system to accommodate the users s/w, h/w, isp, etc. Throughout it all, the vast number of users saw absolutely nothing going 'off the rails' while they 'crammed and grabbed' (uploaded/downloaded) at will, at the max their link would support.

I went back over my logs of the last 3 days, and found that during uploading over 100GB while downloading 25GB, I encountered one (1) semi-unrecoverable error (uploading), that was eventually recovered by the s/w (JBinUp), with 100% propagation to Giganews, Blocknews, and others. Zero on the downloading (error free, pars not needed).

It may have something to do with the s/w, i.e., JBinUp. Although when it first came out, although it had myriad problems with Astraweb, several fixes made it (at least for me) a very super-stable up-loader. If someone is still using a non-error-correcting program (like Power-Post or any of the clones), they might take a good hard look at it. The only problem I see with it is (at present), if the link to the server is particularly long or has large delay's/hops (like going half-way across the globe), it still can have problems.

But that is doing some extensive testing on it, from someone who ran a usenet server plant for close to three years, not to mention going all the way back to my Signal Corps days when the DCA took over Arpanet in the mid-70's.

At some point, if the folks running the plants take their eyes off the ball (while upgrading or whatever), there may be some serious problems, like circa late 2008 when it seemed everyone was while upgrading their plants to 'never rolling anything off' their servers. But that hasn't happened yet, as far as I can see.
