Many thanks for replies, i will look at my settings for connections after work later.
I am using Forte Agent. Only reason i chose this one is because it is the one i used years ago, so i am familiar with some of it's workings. But a LOT of things have changed since i last used the service.
Just trying to get my head around PAR files and NZB files now. None of this was around when i last used the service (which i might add, was on good ole 56k)
