Use the search funtion.
I'll ask again, who is your ISP.
It would appear that you need a name and password. How many times do you need to be told that.
This is the setup in Newsleecher.

I'm assuming Grabit will be similar.
The 480 error suggests that you've not configured it properly, by putting in the username and password required.
This is the grabit one jp.

Cheers effy.
Seeing that I think I'll add that other server, probably just the same one but you never know.
Here sextent. I put the settings like you shown.
I think i am going to try Newsleecher. I put the settings in link you have but i put news.rcn.com. How do i retrieve my groups and then search and download?
In Newsleecher
Select the Manager Tab (top left)
Click "Subscribe to Groups"
Click "Fetch Entire Group List"
That will download the groups that are available to you.
What version and where did you get your Newsleecher from? My copy has a bug in it. I just found that out now. I am going to remove it from my PC, it will be safer that way. I got my copy from the torrents.Quote:

Obviously I stole it, that's a given. Just can't remember where from.

I even steal OS's but Vista was pre-installed so i couldn't activate it and now i have this copy but i am not sure what package the activation key goes too. Obviously it doesn't go to Ultimate Vista because i can't activate it, it will shut down Vista in 20 some days so i can't use it.
How good is Newsleecher v3.8 Final?
I've seen 3.8 and 3.9 floating around but 3.7 is working fine for me.Quote:

Basically if I look in the manager tab it seems to be downloading using both servers at the same time, splitting the bandwidth between them. My speeds are fine, the only limit is that some groups are missing. However not so as I would pay for a different service. Things spread about usenet anyway, so it's just a matter of waiting till it gets to a group you have.
i pay for my service, and my speed maxs out at 790kbs all the time. not bad for £7 a month.
I get it free and it maxs out at 1200kbs. Not bad for ...
Tho' to be fair you will have a much better selection. I don't get boneless, dvdr, mm.tv and quite a lot of others I would like.
I really should spend the £7 or whatever, but I download so much just now it seems a bit mad to.
i don't download shit, just stuff.
:O I download stuff as well. What's the chances of that.Quote:

Even wierder is that I've got the M level of Virgin Media (2Mb connection) yet Newsleecher is only downloading at 120Kb/s and speed test is giving me 966kb/s which divided by 8 gives 120.75Kb/s. I should be (and have many times in the past) hitting 160Kb/s+.
Any of your Virgin Media users have similier problems?
I don't get 120kbs mate, I get over 1000kbs. Tho' to be fair that's with up to 5 machines using the same connection.
My best is 1.25 MB/s
I get about 2.2MB/s, I thought they would have upgraded all areas to 20mb by now, especially the posh bits.Quote:
