Thread: Blocknews - 100 gig usenet block for $8.99 deal

  1. #41
    Well, Readnews servers are peculiar. When I request an article by 'head' that was previously missing, I can get any one of three different responses for the same article:

    430 No such article (timeout)
    430 No such article (from all servers)
    221 0 <[email protected]> head

    The 'Path:' header doesn't have Highwinds in it, and it looks like an article finder contraption is at work.

    Well I don't know what any of that means to be honest but if in the end it is there and whatever I want unpacks I'm happy. :-) I suppose I don't care how its done. Maybe they filled things in like backfill or something who knows. Either way we all win I guess.

    @mesaman - what do you think about the possibility of Readnews running a suck feed OR ihave feed from Highwinds for older articles?

    I don't think that would give any more parts than highwinds would have would it? I've been playing with more nzbs that are broken for highwinds and they complete fine with blocknews just like how they used too.

    They told me all their newsfeeds are legit, they don't open reader connections to other servers and steal articles. Yesterday that s01e04 ctu post we've been looking at was still broken, but today it's all fixed, all the articles that were DMCA'd off Highwinds are provided by a feed from Xennanews. They are working on the problem and the completion changes day by day.

    Did blocknews say that? Very nice and open of them to share neat little tech information like that. Sort of like how newshosting used to be!
