I've just brought a new PC and reinstalled SABnzbd but it now won't download anything,

I recieve 0.00kbs-0.75kbs download speed and get constant warnings of:

Code: Select all

2009-02-17 22:26:12,762 WARNING [downloader] Thread 1@news.giganews.com:119: timed out
2009-02-17 22:26:56,996 WARNING [downloader] Thread 4@news-europe.giganews.com:119: timed out
My username/password is correct for the severs and I have them let up the same as I did before.

Any idea why this is?

Version: 0.4.6
OS: Vista
Install-type: Windows Installer
Firewall Software: Windows Firewall
Are you using IPV6? Not sure
Is the issue reproducible? Not sure

Did you select SSL? SSL only works on certain ports, so if you did select SSL, then either untick it or change the port to 563 or 443.

Nope, SSL is not selected on either sever.

Try decreasing Config/Servers/Connections, if your on a DSL line I read 8 is the max for usenet.

First things first: can you *ping* the server?

Code: Select all

mint@mint ~ $ ping news-europe.giganews.com

FWIW: I can reach the newsservers, so their service is up:

Code: Select all

mint@mint ~ $ telnet news-europe.giganews.com nntp
