Discussion Groups / English Usage / September 2008server problems? aioe.org
Has anyone using nntp.aioe.org found that some posts by other people are only readable through other people's posts? This appears to be a spotty phenomenon, but I noticed that some of Bob Lieblich's posts were missing in my download a few days ago, and today, tony cooper's post (about the back forty) to which HVS responded, did not arrive in my reader (OE with Quotefix). Seems some of Chuck's are not arriving as well, since I replied to one of his via a reply from Draney ( OT Jerry Springer). I have once again checked my blocked senders list, but, no, no news blockages to AEU and AUE senders exist there. Of course, some of my posts may not arrive on the international net, as well, but how is one to know that? >Has anyone using nntp.aioe.org found that some posts by other people >are only readable through other people's posts? I have been experiencing severe news problems since the 18th, when my usual news server at Demon virtually packed up, with delivery to me falling from around 300 a day in various groups to an average of one. I switched to collecting a.u.e from aioe.org several days ago, and since then volume is well down in this group compared to before the 18th. Taking LFS's (Laura's) posts as a specific example, I have only seen Laura's posts secondhand since collecting from aioe except in two instances, both in the "tree-age" thread. One posted on the 19th took 50 hours to reach me, but that could tie in with the delay before I connected to aioe. The second, posted on the 22nd, took six minutes. Laura seems to have posted them via news.individual.net. Her other quoted posts I cannot receive, even requesting them directly from aioe by their MID. There seems to be a widespread malaise in news propagation here in Rightpondia that extends beyond my own provider Demon, though Demon is particularly badly affected, and the Demon news server seems not to be talking to the outside world. There is a current thread on uk.telecom.broadband discussing news problems and the games providers play, entitled "Are Tiscali blocking 'news.individual.net' in the evening?"

News appears to be flowing again through the old-fashioned routes, after a twelve-day local outage, and I am pleased to abandon aioe.org and once more experience the deluge of RRs' posts. Where was that thread about drinking from fire hoses?

I keep stats for eight servers on some groups including this one. For 28 days up to yesterday, fixed pitch recommended: alt.usage.english Merged IOL NIN APN ALB AIO MOZ NDD TNV Total 7571 7020 7533 7569 7536 5955 7546 7504 7532 Avg. 270 251 269 270 269 213 270 268 269 92.72% 99.50% 99.97% 99.54% 78.66% 99.67% 99.12% 99.48% IOL My ISP's server NIN news.individual.net - EUR10 p.a.

Of the free ones the two which are most consistently reliable are MOZ and ALB. SignatureNick Spalding |
