Invalid Server Address problem

Post by MikeMen »

I'm running with the Newshosting provider and am having a problem keeping the connection active.

After downloading a few files, I added another nzb file to the watched folder. The program accepted it but didn't start downloading.

I opened the Config->Server and tried the test server button. I received a message that fails with the message "127.0.0.1.8080 says: Invalid Server Address".

Is this a problem with SABN or with Newshosting? How can I fix it?

Newshosting is notorious for DNS problems like this. Usually it's solved by instead of entering the server address, entering its IP.
You just have to look up the IP address of your server.
