Jesus. I usually top out at 2Mbps and I thought that was ridiculously fast.

I was playing around with NZB Completion Checker and looking at incompletes on astraweb. I was really surprised that changing the port would make a difference on which files would be incomplete. Both NZBs happened to be around the 65-70 day mark. This was the US server on port 119  Port 23  Port 1818  Port 8080  EU Server, only port 119 had an incomplete  I found another file that would have 4 incompletes on port 119, 1 incomplete on port 23, 1 incomplete on 1818, and no incompletes on 8080. Although, only ports 119 and 23 had a common incomplete. No incompletes on the EU server. Between par2s and setting up the EU server as a backup, you should still be able to get all the files. Even if it is a less than ideal solution. Lenins Potato fucked around with this message at 03:57 on Jul 18, 2011 |

Im having trouble with MyNZB. It worked like a charm on my windows machine, but for whatever reason since migrating to a mac, I cant get it to work via 3G. I normally set it to https, disable API and forward ports accordingly on the router, but it wont work. connects instantly via wifi, but the second Im using 3G it times out. firewall on the mac is off, and to be sure I have doublechecked port forwarding is correct - is there something in the mac config thats blocking the connection? is there anyway to monitor my inbound connections on the mac to determine if the request is making it into my network?

I'm kind of new to usenet and signed up with lightning usenet, because it's dirty cheap with their 50mb/s unlimited plan, 431 days of retention and otherwise it's seems to be pretty good, I'm just wondering why I'm only able to get 6-7 mb/s download speeds? They are very constant, but why am I not able to max my connection? I'm using SSL because I'm a paranoid gently caress, and I know it has overhead, but it shouldn't be that much? Edit: 200/100 mb connection here.

In your post you mention a 50Mb/s plan??? Well 50Mb/s is 6.25MB/s so.... what am I missing.

I feel so obsolete in that my first thought was "does he really need higher speeds than that?" Then again, I've got 12TB of usenet tucked away at this point and hardly ever check anything but new posts, so speed isn't a big concern for me anymore.

I may be looking into picking up an unlimited plan fairly soon and just switch my Astraweb account to be a backup. The OP lists Supernews and UsenetServer as being the two best non-Astraweb unlimited deals. Opinions on each? Is Supernews worth the two extra dollars per month?

The retention is nearly the same as well as the price. But I'd still pick up a block account somewhere for DMCA holes.

That still seems preferable to me, but obviously at that rate it should be optional. I can't download faster than ~1.5 MBps, so spending 10 minutes on checking whether or not I'll be able to use something that would take literally almost 10 times that to download would be very useful.

This is probably a silly question but i'm sure it can be easily answered. I've been using Giganews' Diamond SSL plan for several years now and have been super happy with it with its fast speeds and good retention and whatnot, but I've always thought it to be a bit pricey at $30 a month. So what am I going to lose by switching to supernews at $10/mo? Is it slower? Can I use SSL? What am I missing?

Same servers, now similar retention, the only thing you really lose is weird client that giganews provides. As was said above, there's really no reason to use Supernews of Giganews anymore. edit: also you can still use SSL, with 30 connections. I think the only difference is that giganews is 50 connections but I've never seen that really make a noticeable difference in speeds.

Supernews has 1068 days of retention, Giganews is at 1078 days. Thats the main difference. Same servers. Oh, Supernews has 30 connections with SSL, Giganews silver is 20 with SSL.

After reading the previous few posts I went to cancel my Newsdemon account since I was paying £12 a month for what Supernews are doing for ~£6. In the cancel account box that pops up I ticked it was too expensive, was offered the option to suspend my account for a few months, take a 1 month only discounted sub of £3 or just to cancel the account completely. I clicked cancel and was immediately offered the exact same account (1062 + Days Retention, 50 SSL Connections,30 GB Online Secure Storage, Unlimited downloads and speed), for £5.18 a month forever. Can't argue with that!

I seem to be having a problem getting certain NZBs from the search providers, some shows don't show up hours after they are available on Usenet, and I'm running all the search providers that Sickbeard comes with. This wasn't a problem until recently, and I checked my logs and there are no errors when it does download an nzb. Is there a new provider everyone is using? Or is there any way to explain this.

There is a few things that I don't find very clear about usenet. If I understand it correctly, every usenet server is alone and not some service that allow you access to the rest of usenet (i.e. all of the usenet servers). Although some usenet servers automatically download from other usenet servers (called "reselling"). Indexers confuse me. It would make sense if it was a part of every usenet server (i.e. indexing itself). Instead other services indexes the content on other usenet servers. Apparently one has to make sure that the usenet server one employ is indexed by ones indexer. I must assume it is easy to make it clear which usenet servers' results that are of interests. Also, once ASCII was 7-bit and some people made it possible to encode 8-bit binary files into 7-bit ASCII (among other things necessary for the distribution of large binary files over usenet). Since ASCII is now 8-bit, have they modified this or remains it the same for the single reason that poo poo cannot be undone. - Just trying to getting a feel for if usenet is something that through and through falls into that trap.

Each server is linked to many other usenet servers. So if a linux iso is posted on giganews, it'll get sent to all the other servers eventually. Usually the data propagates to all the servers within seconds or minutes of being posted. With indexes, you don't have to worry very much about what provider they're using since the data gets propagated to all the different servers. One note on reselling: Reselling is when one big company has a daughter company that will provide the same feed but more restrictions at a cheaper price. For instance, Giganews won't offer really cheap usenet itself, but it will have a daughter company like SuperNews do it. Highwinds is another big reseller that has many companies offering the same feed at different prices, retention, ect. Lenins Potato fucked around with this message at 20:32 on Jul 20, 2011 |

Usenet is text only so all binary posts have to be encoded into text, the old way was uuenc and was a 3:4 conversion, the new way is with yenc and is almost a 1:1 conversion. You will never have to worry about this.

The thing about Usenet is that, to my knowledge, it was never ever designed to be what it is today. It was designed to be a giant discussion board, not all that dissimilar from the forums we have here. Then people started using it to share files, and it all sort of snowballed from there. Years and years ago, I used Newsreader clients with my ISP's Usenet server, and I remember seeing the chaos from that perspective. Thousands of posts, each containing attachments that comprised tiny portions of a larger file (typically a RAR archive). Indexers take all of those posts, put them together in a list, and SABnzbd+ uses that list (NZB file) to know specifically what to pull, and it handles the rest. Did I explain that right? Usenet would be nigh unusable without indexers and software like SABnzbd+.

Thanks. Your posts made it much more clear how usenet works. A little funny that it would probably be more effective if usenet were changed into supporting what it really is. That would mean no need for splitting a file into so many parts in order to fit them into regular posts.
