I've just pulled about 4 gig straight off this server at max speed, so better already.
Nice.

Re: beta usenet server news.virginmedia.com
 

Can anyone provide a full list of groups on the beta server?

Re: beta usenet server news.virginmedia.com
 

Well, I could...
But right now there's 75,208 so it could be a rather long post!
;)
Are there specific ones you're interested in?

Why not set up newsgroups in Outlook Express and have a browse yourself?
You'll find a step-by-step guide here.

Re: beta usenet server news.virginmedia.com
 

Seems to be some newsgroups missing? Some popular ones ;).

Re: beta usenet server news.virginmedia.com

Re: beta usenet server news.virginmedia.com
 

Is alt.binaries.boneless accessible for you?

Re: beta usenet server news.virginmedia.com
 

Yes :)

Re: beta usenet server news.virginmedia.com
 

currently paying for usenet access as previously the ntl servers didn't give me access to most binary groups. Will be giving this a go.

Any idea on the retention? only 7 days? sounds a bit crappy but ok for free i guess.

Re: beta usenet server news.virginmedia.com
 

Can't find it out on Outlook Express, better off using a newsreader?

Re: beta usenet server news.virginmedia.com
 

well i was able to download the whole of the empire strikes back 1080p from the server with no missing headers.

as lord vader would say "impressive", "most impressive"

Re: beta usenet server news.virginmedia.com
 

I'm using newsleecher and trying to download off alt.binaries.boneless but whem I do go to download newsleecher just says transfers scanned and says idle and ready for action. It won't download anything.

Re: beta usenet server news.virginmedia.com
 

its been acting up these few days, I'm able to down the headers from alt.binaries.multimedia but sometimes unable to download the files unless I wait a few hours.

Re: beta usenet server news.virginmedia.com
 

I'm attempting to download files off some groups, I'm guessing NZB's older than 7 days aren't available for download?
