We are about to change the news, alt, unlimited server software to match that of the free server. This will cause article numbers to change. Please keep this in mind. Some clients handle this well and others do not. If you notice "no new articles" after the change in every group your client is confused about the change. Create a new server profile under a new name and it will work again.

Also note that the new servers have 90+ days of binary retention. It may take some time to download all headers after the change.

The nntp.teranews.com server is physically located in a different data center. Downloads from it may be faster for some people. Our suggestion is to download from nntp and use news/free/alt as a secondary server if your client will allow it. Keep in mind that the free/alt/news.teranews.com servers carry a few more groups than nntp.teranews.com as they are automatically added due to newgroup control messages. The nntp.teranews.com server does not auto add groups.
