Article not found....ever

[sdoherty1000]

Everything I try to download i get 403 article not found even when the particular post is only 8 hours old.....How can that be?
any help will be appreciated, i'm using news.virgin.net unless anyone knows of a better server to use.

Thanks

is possible virgin dont support binary downloads (only text) ?
try usenetserver.com or giganews, or newshosting

Or hitnews.eu free 7-day trial, that will at least help to narrow down the problem.  You might also try checking the 'Article cmd' box on your virgin.net server settings.  And obviously check that your firewall is playing nice.

Also, bear in mind that some NSPs are slower than others in processing the news feed, which can take time to propagate.  8 hours does seem a bit excessive, though.
