Default Pipex news servers



The website claims they have upgraded them and fixed the problems,
presumably allowing binaries...but they seem to have buried the details
away, does anyone know what the latest is?

Thanks!

Pipex user now have access to Giganews's usenet servers. From reading in the
Pipex newsgroups it looks like there is still a problem with download
speeds.

Jamie,
check this Pipex page

Works a *lot* better than their old binaries server,mind you,that
wouldn't have been difficult!

I'm well unimpressed. I set up for Giganews but it doesn't have the
newsgroup I want, which Pipex Binaries does have.....

alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.reggae

Giganews doesn't even have ......

rec.music.reggae

It carries both these groups, you better figure out how to 'set up'.

Yes, I jumped the gun. Strange that when I first uploaded all the
newsgroups, the binaries one was missing which is why I fired off the
query. When I uploaded them all again, this was the only new group
that came in. I reckon someone must have heard me cursing.....

Yes Giganews is much faster and better than Pipex binaries!
