newsdemon problems

Anyone else having problems with newsdemon?

Sometimes the us-secure server works for me, other times it doesn't.
Sometimes useast works, other times it doesn't.
Europe usually gives me "download cap hit" (on an unlimited account :frusty:).
Usually while one us server isn't working I am able to connect with the other.

But right now I can't connect to either us server, and the europe server is connecting but not actually downloading any articles. It says none of them exist.
:frusty:


Anyone else having these problems or is it just me?
It started happening a couple of days ago and I;m using newsleecher.

Well from time to time I can't connect neither to us or eu servers. Right now I can connect to all of them. Try change the port numbers, sometimes this helps. If you still can't connect I would suggest try their live support. They responded to my problems pretty fast.

Standard Routing Ports for PREMIUM SERVERS:

port(s): 119, 23, 8000, 1720, and 3128

The following ports allow you to force packets through specific ports:

• europe.newsdemon.com port(s): 119, 443, 8080
• useast.newsdemon.com port(s): 119, 23, 8000, 1720, and 3128
• us-secure.newsdemon.com port(s): 443, 563, and 8080

Make sure with Newsleecher, that when switching to SSL server connection that you have checked the SSL box under "general settings" for that server; likewise, uncheck it for the regular servers. Check the News::Log window/tab to see any errors that Newsleecher is reporting.

I read that the newsdemon webpage will show what servers your account is able to login to... that said split the # of connections between the servers to see if that might help.

It seems like a lot of providers are having issues lately.
Very queer.
