Tweaknews Speed Tips for GrabIt Users
Improve GrabIt’s Responsiveness with These Tweaknews Adjustments
1. Use the Correct Tweaknews Server Settings
Check that you're using:
-
Server: news.tweaknews.eu
-
Port: 563 with SSL
-
Use 10–15 connections for best results
2. Enable SSL
How to enable SSL when using Easynews in GrabIt:
-
Locate the Easynews server entry in the left-hand panel and right-click it.
-
Select Server Properties.
-
In the dialog that appears, check the option Encrypted server connection (SSL).
-
When prompted, confirm by clicking Yes so GrabIt can set the secure port (563) for you.
Activating SSL enhances security and may reduce connectivity issues on some Internet setups.
3. Prioritize Tweaknews in Server List
Set Tweaknews as the first server in your list to avoid unnecessary delays from other services.
4. Schedule Usage for Off-Hours
Off-peak hours may offer a smoother experience due to lower network traffic.
5. Restart GrabIt if a Refresh Freezes
Group refreshes may hang near completion. A full restart usually clears the issue.
6. Keep GrabIt Updated
If you're using an older version of GrabIt, visit the official site to install the latest release for improved performance and compatibility.
7. Use Ethernet for Stability
Tweaknews users seeking consistent GrabIt performance should prefer wired connections to reduce interruptions.
8. Calibrate Batch Settings to System Resources
Visit Preferences > Batch to adjust task handling based on your RAM and Internet performance.
9. Optimize Save Location
Make sure GrabIt writes to an SSD or internal drive, not network or USB storage. Change this in Preferences > Folders.
10. Stop When Space Is Low
Enable "Automatically pause batch" in Preferences > Advanced so GrabIt halts before disk issues occur.
11. Disable Extra Checks on Older Machines
Turning off multipart and single error checks in Preferences > Advanced may increase speed.
12. Reclaim Memory by Managing Cache
Limit cache size under Preferences > History to improve responsiveness.
13. Limit Overlapping Tasks
Disable simultaneous repair and batch processes in Preferences > Repair and Extract for better speed.
14. Skip Retry for Missing Articles
In Preferences > Advanced, uncheck "Continue downloading on article not found error" to avoid waste.
15. Tweak and Test
Different setups respond differently. Try multiple settings and check the GrabIt Help Center for more ideas.
