Once I add an id it shows up in the queue but gets stuck at "fetching msgid ..... from newzbin" . It just started today, i have about 6 ids in the queue that show up fine and one dling, the others that i added (about 4) all show up with the same message. also, the download speed has recently become very slow, i am downloading at 118k/s.

here are the logs from the connection tab:

...and continues like so

I use the news.usenetserver and i have the port set to 3128 but sometimes switch to 119, i don't know if this makes any difference

i did not have anything to do with the settings, a friend did them and i'm starting to realize most of what he said/did wasn't right. any help would be appreciated

Could be a number of things. Since you are getting connection warnings for your provider, and trouble contacting newzbin it is possible your ISP's fault or a problem with your local network.

I assume your account allows SSL, try changing your server details to:
host: secure.usenetserver.com
port: 443
ssl: ticked
backup server: leave unticked
connections: 10 (or 20 if you have the "UNS HI-SPEED PLUS" account)

i changed the server details, it doesn't seem to have changed anything other than now there are no warnings. the one id is still dling at 120k/s and there are a few queued and then the others still say "fetching msgid....". i am currently using "dsl-lite" but i have never had problems downloading on this network before. Also, my web server settings are set to host: localhost and post: 8084  are these the correct settings?

[switch]

Yes, those last settings should be fine.

I recommend waiting a while to see if the problem sorts itself out, either from your ISP or local network. Restarting sabnzbd may jump start those "fetching msgid..." queue items.

I have restarted, paused and resumed, done everything. I now have five warnings:

2008-10-17 14:10:48,467::WARNING::[downloader] Thread 10@secure.usenetserver.com:443: timed out

Could this be caused by the web server settings or is it definitely my internet connection?

[switch]

If the "ssl" checkbox IS checked, then it looks to be an internet problem.

[yourguess23]

it is checked and that's fine, i can use a different network. once i switch to the high speed dsl network will i need to change my server settings back to news.usenetserver port 119 etc?
