Users of any microsoft email service - due to microsoft insane decision to use uceprotect level 3 spam list, altbinz site is unable to deliver emails to any microsoft service. Users that have such email address need to contact me directly to altbinz at gmail.com from that same registered email address to arrange for alternative email address to be set to their account so they could recover their altbinz account.

Es wurde ja geschrieben, dass der Code abgelaufen ist, aber um an die NZBs von House of Usenet zu kommen gibt es noch einen anderen Weg. HoU arbeitet mit SceneNzbs zusammen. Die sind zumindest aktuell offen. Dort findest Du alles und noch deutlich mehr als bei HoU. Wenn Du noch in keinem Forum bist, ist SecretBinaries offen. Freundliches Board auf dem Du auch Suchanfragen stellen kannst.

Die API-Schnittstelle von SceneNzbs arbeitet perfekt mit der aktuellen (Contributor) Alt.Binz Version zusammen (Stichwort: NewzNab). Du kannst also direkt aus Alt.Binz heraus suchen und herunterladen ohne weitere Umwege oder extra Programme. Das klappt wirklich fantastisch und die Foren werden immer unwichtiger für mich.

Well finally got it figured out what was going on with my speed dropping after awhile.
Thanks to Rdl for  coming in and viewing my system online and seeing that it was my SSD drive after all. I had on older drive , not that fast and I had updated my plan with my ISP to a 1.5 gig plan so to take advantage of it I needed the faster drive to work.  So I updated to the newer M.2 SSD drives.
Also he tweaked my settings in alt binz. In connection we changed the connections to threads to 20. That showed improvement immediately.  Also in download we changed the cache to 600 for max memory cache size. I think it was 0 before. That also improved the download and unpacking.
Finally with the new drive  I put the download folder to that and unpacked to my old SSD that I used for my downloads before. So the new drive only downloads , everything else goes to the older drive for storage . Works perfectly. Unraring to the old drive I've notice my pc works not as hard anymore.
All great moves to improve my Alt binz.
Thanks again to Rdl as I could not have done it without him.
Great product folks and he really stands by it.

Hi Rdl
Well interesting morning. I called my computer tech and he got online with me and watched as I went thru what was happening in my download speed.
Just to go over. My downloads have been fine and speeds as well until I got to larger files - over 10 gig files I would say.
Anyway started off and watched as my speeds went from 1500 mbits to 100 and right to 0 and crashed the pc. Everything was not responding for a bit.
So he looked at the settings and thought maybe the temp file being on my C drive might be an issue. My download folder is my F drive. I also have a D drive
Anyway we moved the temp folder to my F drive ( same as my download folder)  but that caused pretty much the same issue.
Then we changed it to my D drive 9 drive just for data) and everything got way better. It never went below 300 Mbits. Then we moved the temp folder back to my C drive just to see. And it happened again. Speed went right  to 0 and crashed so I moved the temp back to the D drive.
And all thru this my task manager showed absolutely no issue for cause he said. CPU, Disks, memory and network all ran like normal. Nothing revealing. He said it looks totally normal. Even when the speed went to 0 and crashed- Not responding . So it is not my pc.
He couldn't figure out why moving the temp file helped it not to crash. It did not like when we moved the temp file to the same drive as my download too. So I have left it on my D drive. He said to reach out to you with our findings.
When I used the Newshostings downloader it was very consistent but speeds in the 350-400mbits range. I have a 1.5Gig download plan.
This has only been happening for about  a month or two. I had downloaded a few large files 10-20 gigs prior with no issue then. But doing it  more now. I was running 48.2.2. I saw there was a new version and installed a few days ago but not much change.
At least it is not crashing now.
If you can think of anything else let me know.
Again thanks for your help. I hope you can think of something else.
Cheers

Cheers

It looks like very slow HDD (very unlikely) or something not being turned off and still scaning (you can verify this by monitoring task manager for cpu usage/hdd activity)

So it is not Malwarebytes or Defender as I did a download and it was happening and I paused it and turned off both and resumed the download and same thing happened. I thought it was in the decoding of each file but it is not. It happens on both - the download and the decoding. It just pauses both for about 5- 8 sec and the speed goes to zero then resumes and goes up to about 600 Mbps and then back to zero in about 10 seconds and over and over till its done.

So strange.

Sorry another reply but I thought I would try Newshostings downloader and see if any issues. Well it doesn't download nearly as fast as yours . Like I topped at 251 Mbits. And I have a 1500 line and yours does that. Actually I hit 1541 with yours. But it downloaded with no fluctuation.
Anyway there was a note  or message with the downloader and it said

If after downloading articles the Newshosting newsreader client appears to hang (showing no progress) while processing and decoding the articles downloaded, Windows Defender may be blocking writes to the Newshosting downloads folder. In this situation, the downloads folder configured in the Newshosting newsreader client should be excluded from Windows Defender protection. The steps on Windows 10 and 11 are similar, but with slight differences:

I run Malwarebytes Premium so it sort of overrides Defender but I have added to exclusions my Folder Alt Binz.
But I just added it to Defender too.

Will see.
