Ouch, I think I found the root cause:

news.lightningusenet.com points to 195.114.242.12, which is owned by News-Service Europe B.V, which just stopped it's service: see http://tweakers.net/nieuws/77861/usenet ... brein.html (in Dutch)

EDIT:

And in English on their own site: http://www.news-service.com/
Amsterdam, 4 November 2011



Dear visitor,



On 28 September 2011, the District Court of Amsterdam reached a verdict in the procedure on the merits of the case that Stichting Brein had brought against News-Service.com. The Court has ruled that News- Service.com is to cease ‘recording and offering material protected by copyright and neighbouring rights’ on pain of period penalty payment.

Unfortunately, News-Service.com sees no way of complying with the Court's verdict while ensuring a regular and normal provision of Usenet services. As a consequence, on 28 October, we started interlocutory proceedings and asked the summary Judge to order Brein to cease the execution of the verdict. We have learned today that the summary Judge has denied our claims. This means that we are forced to cease our operations with immediate effect.

However, for reasons of principle, News-Service.com will not accept the verdict and has lodged an appeal.

We would like to thank all relations of News-Service.com for the pleasant working relationship and the trust they have placed in us during the past 15 years.



Kind regards,


Patrick Schreurs and Wierd Bonthuis


News-Service.com

It looks like lightningusenet switched to another news server:

Code: Select all

sander@netbook:~$ telnet news.lightningusenet.com nntp
Trying 91.223.220.12...
Connected to news.lightningusenet.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
200 feB02-XX
quit
205 Exit articles 0, bytes 0, groups 0, posts 0, postbytes 0
Connection closed by foreign host.
sander@netbook:~$
That IP address belongs to "Atrato IP Networks"

Anyway: @OP: does your download work again?
