I am getting Error 482 - Authentication rejected on my IS news server today. Was working fine last night and suddenly authentication rejected. Anyone have any suggestions?
What should my login name and pw be?
I have tried the openweb ISP user/pass but no action!
Plz Help!

Great (or not!)

Thanks for the feedback - thought I was losing it!
Ah well.. the IS NEWS server woes continue.
Any good paid for servers in SA?

wonder if they going to start implement authentication now... limit the number of connections people are making... thats a good sign that they at least doing something compared to the server is down,try again...

Not sure how that would help. Limiting threads maybe, but then I have never been able to get more than 1 thread going at a time...

Still going at around 1KB/sec for me.
This is going to take a while...

25-30kB/s here, let's hope it at least stays around there.

How the ##$%^& are you getting a speed like that, I am flying by here at 0.01, if I'm lucky. I am at the point that if I owned a gun, I would go down and shoot them. I am totally fed up with this.

Does anyone have a phone number for some kind of IS helpdesk so that I can go and ruin there day. I am sick and tired of sending rude emails to OpenWeb as it is not their fault

Stopped for me completely as well. Guys like HighFlyer are chowing all the bandwidth!

*edit* O wait - I just got a 1Kb/s burst again!

Ok - I'm back on - with no username or password
Absolutely flying at 0.6kbps!
Why bother...
Someone tell IS that the news server is prolly the only reason some people use them... I'm off to greener pastures if they dont sort it.
