News server update

Nildram have announced that they are changing their news server details.
This is not as previously announced a few weeks ago, as it seems they have listened to comments from it's users.
We are pleased to announce that, effective today, we have taken Usenet news services from GigaNews.
This will replace the current Supernews service (which will continue to run for the next month or so). The new service will run at the same speed and with the same limitations as the current one (i.e. maximum of 2 simultaneous connections, 16kBps transfer per connection).
However, we expect you to be able to connect first time every time, and completion rates for multi-part binaries should be higher. To connect to the giganews service, please point your news client at giganews.nildram.co.uk.
We will continue to run our own in-house server, news.nildram.co.uk, and work to increase its completion levels. Speed and connections are both unlimited on this server. Our advice for users is as follows. If you are mainly accessing text groups and require lots of history, use giganews.nildram.co.uk as your news server.
If you are mainly accessing binaries, use a news client that is able to access multiple news servers, and use news.nildram.co.uk to obtain the majority of your data, and giganews.nildram.co.uk to fill in any blanks. |
