Hi,
It appeared the alt.binz server was down for me some hours ago and therfore I was unable to verify my alt.binz with my login info and as a consequence I could not connect to usenet.
Could there be an overide in these instances?

Thanks RDL the sooner the better. Mine was down a few days ago and conveniently right when I wanted to download some news. Appeared to be down (including the website) for about 3 hours. Ended up downloading sabnzbd+ since I was in a rush. :'(

This was either May 28th or possibly 29th around 9 PM EST and at 11:00 PM it was still down. It did appear to only be a DNS issue though, however I didnt confirm that. Altbinz.net wasnt resolving with either OpenDNS or my ISP's.
