No, no, I mean locally Sacha.

Stopped raining but too wet to cut grass or finish off hedges. Sigh.)


Think I'll wander over to seed companies and order some shrubs and
Miscanthus nepalensis seed............


ooh ooh I forgot to send you the autumn snowdrop bulb though the giver
refused point blank to admit to me that it is the normal one!
I'll go and see if i can dig it up for you

It may be no more that too many people attempting to use the news
server. The note would have been generated local to your system, by your
news reader.

Don't think it's anything to do with you.

Sounds like the limit of people connecting to the news server was hit
(the Demon news service is out sourced to Highwinds and has probably not
been as good as it used to be).

If it 'just one of those things' then I'd not bother about it. If it
keeps on happening demon.service is probably the place

Error Reported By Server: 502 Access Denied (Hit Connection Limit)
(newsfe10.iad)(Tornado v1.2.6.556-2) is the error msg I get when using
Agent 4.2/32.1118. I have been having problems all week with this out
of the blue. Tried tech support but they had no answer.


1. Go to the Agent Newsreader FAQ at
http://www.forteinc.com/agent/faq.php
and look for the FAQ entry
‘Agent relays a "too many connections" error from the server’


2. Notwithstanding what this FAQ entry says, some people find it works
best for them if they set the maximum number of connections manually
and _disable_ the option to automatically adjust the maximum number
of connections. It seems that Agent's option to automatically detect
the maximum number of connections does not work with some news
servers.


3. If you are cancelling active downloads before they complete, this
can
cause this "hit connection limit" problem on some news servers.
Try not cancelling active downloads.


Not sure this has anything useful to apply to Janet though.

she isn't using Agent, there is AFAIK no way to control the number of
connections to the server in Turnpike and the comment about cancelling
downloads seems more likely to refer to binary groups.

And the issue isn't really down to Janet - she will have just one
connection to the server - it's got more to do with Highwinds and Demon
methinks

I did a bit of computing this morning, then rushed off to pick up the
grandson and bring him home to stay for a bit. I've been overseeing
the
urgent task of constructing some Thomas the Tank Engine track!

LOL we have to do the same thing when we are in England.

Well, I do mean overseeing. I'd started the job but the person who
helps me in the house walked in and said "Oh I LOVE this" and it turned
out that in the 13 years I've known her, I had never discovered she'd
spent childhood hours 'designing' her train tracks. She has made him a
super lay out and I've got to photograph it so that we remember it! He
is enchanted and I think tomorrow may bring a trip to Buckfastleigh
railway station shop for more rolling stock!

The real thing? We took our grandson to the National Railway Museum in
York. Their shop had far too many Thomas the Tank Engine products on
sale. It was hard to make him leave the shop.

This is the same. You can ride on a real steam train from Buckfastleigh
to Totnes and back, visiting the Rare Breeds Farm at Totnes, too. Then
you go back to the shop which is stuffed to the gills with Thomas stuff as
well as serious colectors' stuff and then you take a reluctant
heels-digging-in child out of there before your wallet melts!

Ha! We got Stuart a lot of railway stuff as Tom wanted to try and build
