I feel I know you well enough to know that :)

It was intended as a 'heads up' for anyone else reading the post, sometimes, for some reason, people disguise illegal pictures by falsely describing them.

From Tescos service status

(Tesco piggy back on NTL news.tesco.net = news.ntli.net)

Re: binary newsgroups on NTL
 

interesting to see the iprange for news.ntlworld.com has changed to

Name: news.ntli.net
Addresses: 194.168.222.120, 194.168.222.121, 194.168.222.122, 194.168.222.123
194.168.222.124
Aliases: news.ntlworld.com

hmmm. network changes afoot to reroute the connections ?

and the binaries are now working...

Re: binary newsgroups on NTL
 

How do I find out the iprange for newsservers please? Or news addresses?

TIA

Ive just refreshed 25 binary newsgroups, some have small files there, most are empty, BUT they do have todays date, so maybe be the morning we will be sorted (but covered with snow :) )

Re: binary newsgroups on NTL
 

binaries do not work for me so far.

Re: binary newsgroups on NTL
 

in windows command line type
c:\> nslookup news.ntlworld.com

Re: binary newsgroups on NTL
 

the status page has been updated to say this problem is fixed now.. it wasn't last night when I tried at 19:00.. can anyone confirm if the binaries are back ?

Re: binary newsgroups on NTL
 

Fixed?

Dumped a few groups headers and did a compare between those groups on Astraweb v NTL and NTL has many missing/incomplete posts after the 19th!

I know of two meanings for the word 'fixed' too! One means to have repaired something so it works as it did before:

"The mechanic FIXED his car so it ran like new"

Or another meaning of 'fixed' implies damage/alteration of something so it doesn't work as it did before:

"The incompetent mechanic FIXED his car so it wouldn't work at all"

Wonder which version of 'fixed' NTL have applied here?

There is another note, where they say that all customers experience problems with e-mail and news groups and they are awar about it and are working on it.
