Cwapface posted:Ah okay. Well, surprisingly, this makes perfect sense. I thought the number of connections offered referred to how many things you could have downloading at once, not how many connections you're making at any given moment to download one thing, so more connections is faster to the same extent that your connection is. Makes me feel stupid for going with Supernews as a cheaper reseller with their 30 connections over Giganews with their 50. Sorry, I'm new to this. But it's kicking rear end so far! I'm getting stuff at a pretty much steady 10Mbps, which is, like, ludicrous for Australia, even though I'm on a (theoretical) 30/2 fibre connection. 10 connections can easily saturate my 15mb down, so I don't see why 50 would be much faster than 30. It's probably more to do with being in Australia.

Not sure if many are still using newzbin but if you are you might want to find something else. http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/27/uk-court-orders-isp-to-block-newzbin-2-filesharing-site-within-t/ quote:Pirates just can't catch a break these days. Way back in July, a British judge ordered telecom company BT to block its subscribers from visiting a site called Newzbin 2, on the grounds that the ISP had "actual knowledge" of customers using the platform access copyright infringing content. An appeal was soon filed, but yesterday, it was shot down by a high court. Under the order, BT will have 14 days to seal off access to Newzbin 2, and will have to do so on its own dime -- something the provider was aiming to avoid. The decision marks the first time that an ISP has been forced to block access to a filesharing site, something the Motion Picture Association heralded as "a win for the creative sector." BT, meanwhile, didn't have much to say about the ruling, stating only that "it is helpful to have the order now and the clarity that it brings." Less certain, however, is the impact this order will have on future copyright lawsuits and web censorship, in general. Find the ruling in its entirety at the coverage link, below.

I had always used the general severs before and the limit for them was 50, but I don't think that's the case here because I keep getting errors/warnings about too many connections. 20. Unless your on a 100mb connection there shouldn't be a speed difference.

So I got newznab plus setup in windows and it is not too bad with mostly the default settings. Will probably take a few weeks to get everything how I want it and fill some backlogs. I didn't follow this guide completely (was already mostly setup) but used a few points out of it. http://www.tiag.me/installing-newznab-with-xampp-on-windows/

moron posted:I set myself up a private install of Newznab and, I must say, it's been pretty straightforward overall. The only hinderance has been that the backfilling process would take a prohibitively long time for any decent number of groups. I setup newznab in windows and it was pretty easy. I back filled 14 days and it wasn't too bad but there is a way to import nzbs from a collection which is faster than backfilling. You can get the collection by searching or pm me but you basically import these 40 gigs of nzbs and its almost like a huge backfill.

For the people thinking of setting up spot web, google spotweb easy. It is an automated installer thing that takes about 1 minutes to get going (windows). I rolled up my own newznab server that is working great so far but I think I will hold off on spotweb till the english community gets rolling behind it.

moron posted:Has anyone set up a Newznab install running from a home server, rather than a VPS? If so, how have they found they found it running in an environment with relatively lower bandwidth etc? Does it totally saturate your connection for an extended period of time, and take forever to update groups (after the initial group populating period, I mean)? Running from home on a 50/5 connection. I can't even tell when its doing its thing. I use compressed headers as I found it was faster so maybe that helps. It makes it through its loop about once every 5 minutes.

I think there's manual things you can put in play that resolves those (I saw someone mention one for American Dad anyway, as TVDB is +1 season ahead of every other goddamn person on the planet for their own dumbass reasons). Did sickbeard add something for this? I pretty have to do one show manually but this would be good.

Anyone know how you change the default port when setting up spotweb easy? I changed the commented out port in C:\Spotweb Easy\apache2\conf\httpd.conf but when I run the setup it doesn't seem to matter as it tries to go to port 80 (which I have IIS). Do I need to setup virtual host in that file?

Well I am stumped, I changed those two files to 8083 to see and it tries to start on that port but gives the ol (OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. : make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:8083 I even temporarily disabled IIS services, not sure what else to do, any apache wizards?
