Re: Free Newsservers
Since this web site is dead (or it always seems to be) and the other address given (http://www.appelboor.com:8888/report.html) is just as useless now. Any chance someone has an alternative?rascalli wrote: FREE SERVERS : http://www.appelboor.com/newsserver.txt (port 119)
Thanks to Sander for writing a script to check server statuses.
@Sander: Since it is your script, any chance you have a copy of it running on another web site?
Re: Free Newsservers
The current VPS is horrible; it stops responding after a few hours/days.. I've already rent a new one, which will be the new webserver.Vyp3R wrote:Since this web site is dead (or it always seems to be) and the other address given (http://www.appelboor.com:8888/report.html) is just as useless now.

As we speak I'm rebooting the old, bad VPS so that I can access the files there and copy them to my new VPS.
EDIT:
The base files copied. See http://toverdoos.waardenburg.net/newsserver.txt
Re: Free Newsservers
Thanks Sander.
Any chance of the ordered layout version?
Plus can you add weathergirl-ipv6.tele2.net on to the list?

Re: Free Newsservers
Better layout: that is jquery based. I have to dive into that how that works and which files are needed.Vyp3R wrote:Thanks Sander.

weathergirl-ipv6.tele2.net is now in the list.
Re: Free Newsservers
Ah okay, thanks Sander.
Also, I thought this script was to check free news servers? Or has that changed? Because as far as I can tell news.casema.nl, news.kpn.nl, news.lightningusenet.com, and nova.planet.nl you cannot access for free in any way. Or am I missing something?
Edit:
Just noticed another free server that is not on the list (even though it requires a username and password to access it):
reader.xsusenet.com

Re: Free Newsservers
The script/website is to check newsservers in general. And FWIW: news.kpn.nl is free if you're a KPN (=telco/ISP) customer / on their network. EDIT: The words "Account needed?" tell you whether it needs an account.Vyp3R wrote:Ah okay, thanks Sander.

Re: Free Newsservers
Is this the format you meant:
http://toverdoos.waardenburg.net/newsserver.html
If so: it's now running on the new website, once per hour at ten minutes before the whole hour (so: x:50).

newszilla6 is not working for me :\
Re: Free Newsservers
Sometimes they go up and down. (Hey they are free, you can't expect the service of a paid server.)dubya11 wrote:newszilla6 is not working for me :\
Keep checking the Newsserver Status page to see if it is also offline for others.
Re: Free Newsservers
In my experience newszilla6 itself is always up, and you can always access it via non-teredo/miredo-IPv6.Vyp3R wrote:Sometimes they go up and down. (Hey they are free, you can't expect the service of a paid server.)dubya11 wrote:newszilla6 is not working for me :\

However, it seems that accessing it via teredo/miredo-IPv6 (so if you have an IPv6 address starting with 2001:0:) not always works. My guess is that the teredo/miredo-providers sometimes block it (maybe in case of traffic overload).
And, probably more important: does your own IPv6 work. Test it via http://test-ipv6.com/ . So I would say poster dubya11 should check that first ...

Re: Free Newsservers
ive had an account at xsnews for quite awhile. The free ipv6 account. However I haven't been able to connect to it through miredo for months. Today it suddenly started working? Did they change something on their end or is something else going on? I can connect through miredo on ubuntu with my free ipv6 account.
