Altbinz does not attempt to contact news server for download
« on: April 22, 2012, 06:17:39 am »
Hi

I thought I left a bug report earlier but I do not see it anymore?

Anyways, I am trying to download a NZB and even though a News Server is configured (was working fine for a couple of years now), I see no attempt of Altbinz trying to even attempt a news server connection.

I have verified the server is alive and present still (via ping) and I have verified that the port is open (119).

The log is blank. I am using the latest version of altbinz (39.5) and I have McAfee Security Center on Windows 7 (64 bit).

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Ok, that was a an ambiguous response ("someone did not read the FAQ") since my password in the Forum and the program have been different for quite a while. I never received notification that the post was responded to and I could not find my original post when I went to "BUGS" looking for my original report so I never knew someone responded to my first query. As you can see, this was my first post and have never asked for assistance before and never used the Forum for other than new version downloads. I am not sure my question warranted a nebulous response but I get the message.

Having read the response I did finally read the FAQ and see that I need to re-enter my login password. All is working now.

But this is the first time you started/restarted altbinz with changed password.
