Clients: Alt.Binz Settings

Alt.Binz is a popular shareware client that is well-suited to downloading contents of NZB files.

To configure Alt.Binz for Megabitz, click on "Setup" from the top bar, and then click "Servers." In the Servers options page, in the Server properties box, fill in "Megabitz" for the name, the number of connections your plan allows, check "Server requires authentication", and fill in your username and password. If you wish to use normal news service, put "news.megabitz.net" in the Address box, and make sure SSL is not checked. If you wish to use SSL, put "secure.megabitz.net" in the Address box, and make sure to check SSL. Click on "Add as primary" to complete setup.

IMPORTANT

To ensure correct operation with Megabitz servers, please make sure to click on "Setup" from the top bar, and click on the "Connection" tab. On the Connection options page, set "Delay between connection retries" to at least 60 seconds, "Global connection timeout" to at least 600 seconds, and "XPAT connection timeout" to at least 600 seconds.
