SABnzbd Forums

Hi Guys and gals, wonder if you can help. My problem is an intermittent connection to my servers (I have used Giganews and Newsdemon for years now). I also use NZBVortex and am having the exact same issue. Sometimes the server connects, on other occassions it does not. Usually, if I leave SAB or NZBVortex open for long enough my downloads start (this can be anywhere from minutes to hours). The Error message I am getting for SAB is:

[Errno 61] Failed to connect: (60, 'timed out') -1@news.giganews.com:563

---------

I have tried all of the following:

- All possible combinations of programs and servers.
- Reinstalling all programs
- Turning off firewall

---------

I am currently running the latest version of OSX Yosemite.


Thanks

I've just found out that if I use Vyper VPN then usenet works perfectly. This must mean that BT is blocking Giganews - no?

It seems so.
Nice ISP, or is it your wonderful government?
