=== TESTFEED 1.80 by Sebastien WILLEMIJNS (***@willemijns.com) ===


Date of test: 29/11/2003 17:45






Downloads dates of every article posted on several public nntp servers (thanks
to the "XHDR DATE 0-" command) to detect lost messages and bad messages feeds.



IMPORTANT NOTE:
========= =====
This method is not the best method to estimate the feed quality of the nntp
server you're using because it doesn't include possible interval (about
1 or 2% from large traffic newsgroups) due to no-spam, no-dupes and
no-binaries filters on newsgroups who don't accept it.

Note several news servers censors (!) some type of messages:
- No HTML messages (news.free.fr)
- No alt.binaries crossposted messages (news.cis.dfn.de)
...etc...etc...




Add a open nntp server to the list ?
