Title: How do i use 2 servers?
Post by: elephant66 on February 11, 2013, 11:14:55 am

Hi

I have recently switched from an Astraweb Annual with 6 months left to Newshosting monthly (because of astra DMCA problems)

Can I set up so Altbinz uses both?

There are options to set one as a backup server? how does this work.  is this useful if the files are DMCA removed?

Are there any real advantages of using 2 servers.  I think astra may be a tiny bit faster but i cant tell. 

Its just i have 6 months left on my account so i am trying to use it somehow :)

Cheers

If astra is faster then add it as primary server and newshosting as backup. Yeah, this configuration is usefull for DMCA, but servers in question aren't ;)

Hi Rdl

Cheers for the reply

so will altbinz
'switch to the other server'
if one server "has no stuff" (ie it has been DMCAed.) (sorry for the grammar)
does the backup work like this? 
What triggers it to change server if altbinz is set up to have a backup server?

on subject of servers:
so far Newshosting has had loads of TV shows that astra didn't have (I use the same failed NZb to check this)
so its seems better on balance
(but there has been talk of slower less dmca Dutch servers Tweaknews )

430 article not found response triggers the switch to backup server for that article.
