OT - Having problems with eternal-september

After switching from mozarella, it worked for several days. Now I can't get
any downloads. Anyone else having the same problem?
My alternate is via google, but I'd rather use Outlook Express.

So far, Judy, mine is working fine. We will be out of town for the weekend
(picking up 5 year old DGD for a 2 week visit) so guess I will find out if
it continues to work when we get back.

So far, so good on mine. Actually, I think I'm seeing more postings than I
was before.

First - I went to the eternal-september website - and found that they had to
shut down for a while - some technical problem. Then, I found (after they
were "back up" again) that I still couldn't get messages... so,
Second - I sent an email describing what I'd done to connect and got the
following msg. -- Voila!!! Success!
So --- in case any one else is having problems: here is the quick reply they
sent me: (See bottom paragraph!)

I used to receive my quilting newsgroup via Motzarella - and it has
recently closed down. (rec.crafts.textiles.quilting) The transfer to
mail.eternal-september.org was "supposed" to be seamless, but I
cannot download messages since the switchover.

Well, it explicitly said in the notification mail that you should
create a new server setup in your client rather than changing
the server name in your Motzarella account. Did you do that?
(ME-Judy:"Yes")

I am using: server: news.eternal-september.org connection - LAN
server port number NNTP 119

What am I doing wrong? I miss the newsgroup!

Are you able to connect to the server?
If you use Outlook Express or Windows Mail,
please right-click on the group name, select "Properties",
go to the "Local File" tab and click on the "Reset" button.
