Re: No download speed
Doesn't the message "requires user/password" ring a bell?
Most Usenet providers require a username and password.

Re: No download speed
Virgin media do not usually require a password. Not sure what is going on here, not on a Virgin connection at the moment to verify if there is something wrong with their servers.

Re: No download speed
That may be it then.
If I remember correctly virgin just use highwinds media's servers and if it detects you are on an IP from virgin it will let you logon without the need for a password (at a lower retention, the user+pass of a paid highwinds reseller would have to be supplied for higher retention).
If you are on a virgin network, I would contact their support.

Re: No download speed
The error message seems quite common. See http://www.google.com/search?q=%22480+a ... nmedia.com
Maybe those forums give a solution. Otherwise contact Virginmedia.
