However, when he downloaded the NZB file and tried to open it, Grabit failed to respond at all.

He tried changing to port in Grabit to 443 (from 563) but this made no difference.

Does the block mean all traffic from Usenet is denied as we thought it was just access to the Newzbin site itself?

More importantly, is there an easy way around this (without resorting to VPN or proxy, as these are a little above our understanding)? I'm hoping there will be some little tweak to Grabit that will resolve the issue.

Any help would be most appreciated as we're currently stuck halfway through the final season of Breaking Bad and need that episode 6...

Ta.
Newzbin has a software program you can use to download there NZB,s which will get around any blocking, However i can no longer tell you where you can get it as i don't have access to the site anymore, i dont trust the owners of that site and therefor tend to use NZBmatrix instead.
