apologies

Sorry people, it appears that my posts have been repeated a lot on here! My news server (free.teranews.com) is a smelly, steaming pile of s**te with undigested lentils and sweetcorn in.

It seems that it wasn't sending the packet or whatever to confirm that the messages had been posted to OE, so OE kept them in the outbox and resent them every time it did a Send/Receive cycle.

Another factor could be that my ADSL connection is shockingly terrible in its reliability. It's really intermittent. Probably down to the fact I live out in the sticks maybe?

Whoops. Shite server, s**te ADSL and s**te OE.

hehe, I was with them for a month or two, and even tried upgrading to a pay package for a couple of weeks, but they were s**te all round. Missing posts was the worst thing though, with close second being lack of connectivity. Currently paying Giganews which is, so far, flawless.

What is their binary retention/completion like?

signup, wait for approval. No binaries, but pretty good spam filtering.

Fair enough, in my book.

It's exceedingly rare that this is actually the fault of the multi-postee.

is the place to go - bargain basement accounts are only $6 (£3.20) a month, and there's a handy web interface if you don't wanna use a Newsreader. Perfect completion if you're a binaries fan (well, as perfect as it can be), and 30GB-per-month is nice.
