Problem with Newsgroup?

[aBuGaarith]

Hi
I'm trying to dl from local newsgroup ,news.mweb.co.za,but as soon as i start dl the connection stops.I on telkom 3g shaped cap.
i think it's da port 119 which is blocked ,any way around this,

Sorry I guess you have to be an Mweb subscriber. In any case use your 3GB account on international downloads, you'd get more than 3GB anyway on a TI account

 

[aBuGaarith]

the problem is not subscriber related but port related @work it works fine.
i'm more concerned with why i'm cant dl,beside never said i was not a subscriber

Don't think it's port-related - 119 is the usual port for usenet.

news servers seem to be extremely slow or even dead during certain times of the day, just retry the batch later in the day...works for me

Is it just me or is anyone else also having problems with the IS newsgroup. It downloads for a few seconds at 200k, then dies, comes back, dies etc...

Only managed to download 100MB the whole day....my grabit gone wonky perhaps?

Keep getting this error: Error while selecting group: "bunch of gibberish"

Doing this with both cached and uncaches stuff!

Can a mod please lock the thread.

Once again, Newshost has a forum dedicated to questions like this.

Lock it? Deleted it, or merge it with a locked one.
