It's hard to say. Not all news servers are reliable, and short or long term
connection issues can occur. The fact that you can successfully connect to
and use this server suggests that the problem is not local. Knowing what
server you're trying to use might help someone provide an answer to your
query.

I can't download any newsgroups, except yours. I've even disabled my
firewall. It looks like it's downloading, but it just goes forever. What
do I need to do?

Thanks
