I'd be curious to know if anyone else sees same behaviour?

reader.ipv6.xsnews.nl works only sporadically and when it does it is quite slow as you mentioned.

I know this is an old post, but the basic premise of supporting 7zip at some point hasn't changed, or has it?

As of Jan 29 2010 eweka's (free) ipv6 access to their newsservers has been discontinued. See: http://www.eweka.nl/phpbb/viewtopic.p...

I agree, this can be tedious.

I've configured three news-servers and all works well until one of them becomes unresponsive. Then sabnzbd+ is not able to use the remaining two servers, it justs sits there presumably waiting for a timeout. However it never recovers. Something with the server-connection / timeout handling seems to ...
