Various annoyances with Newsleecher have forced me to switch clients, and I came across alt.binz, but I have just one problem, I can connect but downloading won't begin.  I'm successfully connected to my ISPs server, but I'm stuck at 0kB/s even when there are unpaused articles in the queue...
The only other thing I'm doing is repairing something else (which I downloaded with Newsleecher before it stopped recognizing repair blocks and made me switch to alt.binz).

Here's my log after starting alt.binz fresh (I removed the thing I was repairing to eliminate that as a variable).
[2/7/2008 12:56:42 PM] [Main] Alt.Binz 0.25.0 [27.09.2007] started.

try "select group" in setup -> server
don't forget to press apply and then reconnect
