dont forget if the server is being run by another source ( not VM ) then it is possible posts are being dmca'd and removed from the server

Re: beta usenet server news.virginmedia.com
 

i did read somewhere , that you could ask VM to add certain newsgroups , but i did complain about U/F , and i said its there if i look going through outlook , but when i go to download using Newsleecher its not there ,, VM just passed the buck and said it could be the site thats doing it . :mad:

VM is still ultimately owned by an American company, listed on NASDAQ, even though all its operations are in the UK. I would have thought it possible that they could well be on the receiving end of DMCA takedown notices. I'd be surprised if US-based copyright owners weren't up for at least trying to use that law against them.

Do VM's news servers support SSL?

Re: beta usenet server news.virginmedia.com
 

LOL... Even if they did, VM would be logging who accesses what. It's not like the music/movie companies can spy on your connection, their pathetic "investigations" just rely on seeing your IP address listed on a BitTorrent tracker. There is no way they can tell if you are downloading from usenet unless they somehow get access to VM logs. I don't think even VM are dumb enough to allow that.
