Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? yes

Whenever I fill in the server details for an ssl-connection (port 563 & 'ssl' checked) ans I hit 'test server', I get '[Errno 111] Failed to connect: (110, 'timed out') -1@<server>:563'
If I then only decheck 'ssl' and change the port to '119', the test succeeds.

This is while already downloading from the server through an ssl-connection, so there's no question as to whether it would be an offline server, only 'test server' fails, downloading with these details however works fine.

Often Usenet servers have different URLs for normal and for SSL traffic.
Just changing the port and the SSL toggle isn't always enough.
Example:
ssl-us.astraweb.com versus us.news.astraweb.com

As I mentioned, I am downloading ok with given settings, it is only the 'test server' that will always fail.
The servers in question use the same settings for ssl & non-ssl traffic, only the port is different (563 instead of 119)

Yeah, didn't read the last part very carefully
Which server is this exactly? So that I can check what's going on.
It's not a general problem, since I can test all of my five Usenet servers properly.
Do you "test server" during download or when paused?

I had not tested it yet while pausing the downloads, and then it works fine.

Sorry for taking your time

Ideally it should work while downloading, and most of the time it does.
Future improvement.
