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,:confused:
 
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 ;)
 
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

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!
