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.
