I've just tried again now and this is the first time I've been able to even download headers for 3 days. It seems to be downloading ok for now but I won't hold my breath.

Re: News server dead
Newshosting is having a bit of a bork this weekend, so I tried NTL and, yes, it was awful. It kept stopping, starting, slowing down, speeding up.

Connection is fine with Newshosting - but still no files are complete
edit: bizarrely - if you download headers they are showing as incomplete, but if you use an NZB then completion rate for posts over the weekend seems to be normal. Weird.

Spool issue
01/14/06 4:00PM EST
We're currently having trouble with one of our backend spool servers. This is causing random connection issues and problems fetching articles. We're currently working to resolve the problem.
UPDATE: Things should be working better, but not 100%. We'll have someone on site ASAP to investigate the problem further.
