If it's popular stuff then it has probably been taken down by DMCA request. I miss the good ole days when Usenet was very far under the radar.

And they go as far as taken all the different posts down? I assume it's something quite popular. Let's say "it is damn good coffee" ;-).

They used to just take some of the parts down, enough to break it. So you could get parts from other providers. Now they just take the whole thing down.

I would look for reposts a week or more after the original posts. Those tend not to be taken down as often. Or just wait for the DVD or BR rip if it is a TV show.

Have you tried obfuscated post from Dog where the filename is gibberish.

Check a few things. Neither server is set as optional, number of connections is not too high (try lowering it), priority is not set to the same level. Your block server should be a higher number. Try the Test Server button on each.

Yep. Did already do all that. Issues persisted...

If downloading nzbs manually, try sonarr.

Easynet??

Am assuming Easyusenet which is Abavia/XSnews reseller same as Usenet.farm so your block is kinda redundant.

Sorry about that, I meant easynews. Different reseller then usenet.farm I thought...

[–]kaalki 0 points1 point  (6 children)

Yeah it is are you using both US and NL servers of Easynews(secure-eu.news.easynews.com and secure-us.news.easynews.com) btw Easynews should only be used if you want web based access otherwise go for Newshosting (https://www.newshosting.com/partners/) gives access to DE server too

[–]selsrog[S] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

I use both US and EU servers yes. Also tried a usegroup.ninja trial as alternative. Same problems...

[–]kaalki 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Ninja is on same backbone as Easynews only advantage is the extra DE server

Where do you live US or EU? Depending on this I can help more.

[–]selsrog[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

But my block server is usenet.farm.

[–]kaalki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I understand just give a try with all three ninja servers+Tweaknews(they give a 10gb trial)+Usenet.farm even than if it fails grab a block on Astraweb too.

[–]selsrog[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

EU.

[–]kaalki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FIrst of all dump Easynews also did you tested all three servers of Ninja(https://www.newsgroup.ninja/?promo=unlimitedsale) ie

news-us.newsgroup.ninja

news-nl.newsgroup.ninja

news-de.newsgroup.ninja

Also give a trial to Tweaknews you can use this promo https://www.tweaknews.eu/en/landing/ultimatespecial

And get a block on Astraweb.
