Not really appropriate for a networking group. If you think it's the
app, check for a group for that news reader. If you think it's the ISP
and their news service, check with them. ISP's rarely have any goodf
support for usenet, if at all. I use a national cable company and
almost daily the third party NNTP provider goes down saying there's too
many connections (from me, though they really mean from my provider, or
they are just having problems, because I'll log in after two+ days and
have that error), so I just have to wait for it to be corrected by
them. That's not helping usenet at all.
