Fine-Tune NewsLeecher for Better Speeds

Improving Speed When Using Tweaknews in NewsLeecher

Use the tips below to improve your Tweaknews experience in NewsLeecher:

Make Sure NewsLeecher Is Up to Date

Visit https://www.newsleecher.com/software/ and confirm you're using the latest build.

Correct Server Settings

Confirm that you're using news.tweaknews.eu, SSL is checked, and port 563 is selected.

Try Switching Ports

If you're having trouble with port 563, try switching to SSL port 443 or 80.

Test a Wired Connection

Wi-Fi interference can slow speeds—try connecting your device directly to the router.

SSL Connection

Always check "Use Encrypted Server Connections (SSL)" and accept the port change to 563 when prompted.

Connection Limits

Tweaknews supports up to 60 connections. A mid-range setting like 25–40 generally works well.

Set Tweaknews as the Primary Server

In the Manager tab, make sure it's at the highest priority level.

Advanced Settings Panel

Turn on "Show Advanced Settings" to reveal additional performance options.

Search and Retention Settings

Tweaknews has long article retention. Be sure your group and search tools in NewsLeecher are configured accordingly.

Check Competing Internet Use

Other devices or services may reduce available speed. Try testing NewsLeecher on an isolated connection.

Antivirus and Security Settings

Security software may scan or block data streams. Temporarily disable or adjust scanning settings as needed.

Restart Network Equipment

If speeds are unusually low, try rebooting your router and modem.

Server Entry Accuracy

Double-check the server address field for any misspellings that could hinder access or route traffic incorrectly.
