Usenetserver.com problems

For the last week or so I have been barley able to get connected properly. Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 tries using different ports and switching back and forth from secure and non-secure always with the same outcome of 2-5 connections at a very slow rate of speed and the "502 Authentication Error." and "400 too many connections" error and usually it is a mix like 3 "502 errors" and 4 "400 errors" or whatever. Sometimes late at night it is ok though and it will connect no probs. all 10 going full speed and maxing my connection out. So I started looking on the website a little more and noticed that they are no longer showing a detailed "network status" The usual graph showing incoming, outgoing connections and bandwidth used is gone. :whistling

Anyone else having this issue lately?

Yes I am having the same issues with usentserver especially the 400 too many connections on an off all week...
what are the other ports I could try with usenetserver ?
Thanks!

same issues here, doing my head in.

Exactly same issues as the first poster here.

Already swicthed to Ngroups for now.

just got this back from usenetserver

This has been an ongoing issue that our engineers have been trying to resolve.
Please reply back with your IP address and a trace route

Have sent trace route will let you know outcome

I got this same error even though I was with Ngroups.net. However, when I run the trace route it goes to usenetserver.com as final destination !! I guess Ngroups.net is a service provider only.

Ngroups.net is trying to find out if we they can provide a alternate download path but they have said they cannot influence the upload path to their servers.

What port should I connect to?
Port 119 is the default NNTP port, but we support ports 23, 25, 119, 1720, 3128 and 8000. Secure.usenetserver.com only allows encrypted SSL connections on ports 443, 563 and 8080.

I talked to them as well over live chat and they asked the same of me so I gave it to em but that was 4 days ago. Last night I asked about the issue again and they told me they are not sure when it will be fixed becasue the engineers are not sure at this point :frusty:

I was having this as well on the weekend, but seems alright now.

got this work round from usenetserver
Delete all current servers
Add nntp9.usenetserver.com with 5 connections
Add nntp10.usenetserver.com with 5 connections.
Then connect using both servers at the same time

can you do this with grabit if not what prog do I need

all seems to be working now.
