Astraweb's slowdowns & propagation issues in the evening (GMT)

[hdjunky]

Oh well.. as for me ive resolved Aw's upload's processing problems quite simply - i got mysef $5 giganews account lol
=)

Instead of paying them per month you could just get a blocknews account and pay only once ($3 or whatever it is). The block accounts come with unlimited uploading anyways so you will basically have a block account that will never expire.

I decided to give it another try with AW in terms of uploading stuff to usenet.
.Oh, boy, i should have done it Blazing fast speeds when uploading- yes..But later on...
I uploaded yet another part of a certain siterip and at the end AW fucked up several posts really badly at the point where repair was pointless. And it wasnt propagation issue.. Just plain fucked up articles.

Switched to my $5 giganews account and it worked as expected..

well,nothing extraordinary. i saw several times guys from EFnet reposting fucked up uploads. though they were not so lucky- it was BDrips lol..
im just glad i didnt post a bluray as i planned lol

AW is OK for downloading stuff, If you upload a LOT then get $5 giganews account

PS

(490 parts, 130 missing)
(477 parts, 140 missing)
(611 parts, 243 missing)

way to go, AW! =)

Just curious, what do you use to upload posts?

[Hypatia]

nothing fancy, just plain simple and efficient camelsystem powerpost

I have heard people having issues with Powerpost and Astraweb. I just used Newsbin Pro and uploaded 700MB+ complete. Have you tried another posting program? Maybe Easy Usenet Uploader?

EUA and JbinUp dont max out my connection for some reason

Jbinup with 20 connections shows 3+MB(same applies to EUA) while Camel uploads up to 5-6MB with only 12 connections
Besides, i experienced this issue long time ago when i used EUA too. There was a period when AW was really terrible at some point

As for newsreaders they are not made for proper large uploads imho.Because its not their primary function.
i tried once NBPro as an upload tool and didnt like it.
I dont doubt your experience with 700mb upload. Its not like every AW upload turns out to be screwed up, you know. The point is your never know when it hits you =(

In the Newsbin Pro forums, there are a couple of people complaining about upload problems with Powerpost and Astraweb in the Astraweb forums. I take you have contacted Astraweb for an explanation? What did they say?

I might be mistaken but it seems that reducing posting lines from 5000 to 3000 and par2 block size from 640000 to 384000 accordingly has helped but i cant be sure of course..
We'll see how it is gonna work out.
