    Well if there's one thing you're good for it's helping me figure out how to put users who are useless on my "ignore" list. :smartass:

    I telephoned the ISP and learned this just now! How'd you know?

    I guess that's why my d/ls weren't working.

    try what? everything with newsgroups is so cryptic to someone who doesn't understand what they're doing. Why don't you just put yourself in the shoes of someone who doesn't understand this stuff? Saying "just *try*" isn't helpful so it makes me wonder why you took the time to post it.

    Thanks. But don't I need log in info and the port number to use? :blink: All the data I have is news.eastlink.ca... I need more than that.

    I added the server to sabnzb with no luck.
