Description:
The Usenet Newsreader Benchmark (or "usemark") is a tool to test the performance of your newsgroup server. This tool will test the latency and the throughput of a newsgroup server.
The overall latency is a function of many factors, including the quality of your internet connection and the route between your home computer and the news server. Thus, a poor score does not necessarily reflect the news service, but may reflect your internet connection.
The Usenet Newsreader Benchmark is pretty simple to use:
Step 1: Enter your server information
You must enter the three pieces of information listed above (news server name, user name, and password). If you don't know these pieces of information, then you can either try to locate them from an existing program that you use to access news groups (for example, Free Agent, SBNews, Android -- whatever tool you have installed). You can also use another free tool, "slut" (simple little usenet test) to help you figure out your newsreader settings.
If you still can't figure out these settings, then try contacting your ISP. Tell them you need to set up a newsreader, and they'll point you to the correct settings.
Step 2: Press the button
Hit the start button to begin the benchmark process. There are actually several steps in the benchmark. It has to log onto your news server, select and download headers from a newsgroup, and then download some articles. It may take a while for the test to run. If for any reason the test is aborted, an error message will be displayed.
Changing the newsgroup:
By default, the usenet test uses the newsgroup "alt.binaries.sounds.mp3", which is a newsgroup that has mp3 music in it. We picked that group because it's usually a large popular newsgroup that contains a wealth of large messages that are good for benchmarking. You are free to pick another group, but please select something that has a large number of "big" posts in it.
