May I suggest you use another Newsgroup server like the famous free German one a lot of us use. http://news.individual.net/ will get you to their site where you register and then they will send you the details you need to set it all up. Good instructions on their site for setting up most mail readers to use their service. Excellent Ng service and they are also good at cutting out spam etc -- Regards Bob Use a useful Screen Saver... http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ and find intelligent life amongst the stars |

Onetel have had ongoing problems with their newserver and I noticed the absence of new messages for a long time. Their server is remarkably poor and downloads even on broadband can be slow and sporadic. Customer service is fairly useless and half the staff do not understand newsgroups. I have just applied to http://news.individual.net/index.html although I do not yet know which newsgroups they carry. |

You won't be able to influence Onetel's newsfeed by fiddling with your own settings. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

I had a similar problem and assumed that one of the spammers had posted a file that my news browser can't read in revenge for some of the comments we had recently been making about their unwelcome contributions. The problem went away when I unsubscribed from the newsgroup and then resubscribed but only choosing to load the last few posts. The few posts I missed I picked up from Google newsgroups. -- Nick Wagg |
