I'm wondering if anyone can give me any idea's as to why I can't connect to Astraweb.
I've had a giganews account without issue for months, but given the lower prices and increasing retention I decided to join astraweb.
I'm trying to connect to this server
eu.secure.news.astraweb.com
I have the correct port (have tried 443 and 563), both worked fine for around ten minutes then I got the download stopped and grabit just stated 'connecting', I restarted grabit and got a 'unable to connect to eu.secure.news.astraweb.com' error. Same thing happened on both ports.
As I said, I've never had any issues with giganews but I didn't have SSL on my giganews account.
Could it be my ISP stopping the SSL connection? (I'm on virginmedia's 10meg conection)
I also noticed when it was connected that not all articles downloaded, one or two would shoe downloaded' but not actually download, I'd have to restart grabit and use my giganews account to download them.
