Hello,
I have a root server with debian installed and I want to upload stuff to the usenet.
I tried JBinUp but I don't know how to config it on debian :(
I'll be happy if anybody can help me or can give me a tutorial.
Cheers

I haven't used JbinUp on debian, do you not have a GUI/window manager loaded? It's written in Java, so I'm expecting it to be pretty much the same in Linux as it is in Windows, config options in a drop down menu.
As an alternative could you used something like WINE

and then run regular Windows software like alt.binz on it?
That's not for posting to newsgroups.Quote:

If you're uploading video files, Lift-cup is a killer. It's a python script that automates the preparation of the files, then upload it with newsmangler: https://github.com/midgetspy/Lift-Cup
To upload movie, this is what I do: screen python ~/lift_cup/lc.py movie.to.upload.2012.dvdrip.avi --skipquality
It copies the movie to a temp folder, rars it, pars it, nfos it, and uploads it, all by itself.
I just wish it would allow any kind of file as input and not only video files, but maybe I'll tweak the script to do that some time.
Nice, it almost worked. Then it gave an error on the upload part "permission denied"Quote:

Permission problem on newsmangler? Well just chmod it to 777, no?
Or maybe wrong credentials for your usenet account? Do you have upload rights? Usenetserver.com requires that you ask them upload privileges before you can upload.
Raring and paring takes the time it takes, I didn't notice any speed difference between liftcup and manual processing. Plus it uses the same tools. Of course, if your server has a low CPU, it'll take some time.
I upload all the time, manual, though. So i do have upload rights. Is there a way to make it use different settings for par2? like pick my own command line for it to use when it pars and rars? I looked in the conf file and it didn't have settings for making pars and rars
Yeah... My attempts at tweaking the script were unsuccessful.
If you like it manual, you can of course use only newsmangler.
I also ready about automated preparation without upload: http://tad-do.net/2011/08/20/automat...e-preparation/
Edit: ok, so I tweaked the script to rar at 50MB all the time (instead of 15-20-50 depending on the size), and I adjusted the par2 blocks to be 2x the article size... and it made the whole process really faster. I still have to see if it'll always be like that, but basically, it took the process from 15-20min down to 5 (yeah, my CPU is sloooooow).
What CPU Cascadeur?
D425
But that's only the CPU on my server. My desktop one is more powerful than that of course.
