SSLv2 support
« on: August 04, 2009, 08:46:56 pm »
Is it possible to add SSLv2 support? ;)
Its a must if you want to download at full speed at all time from newsgroups if you have a UPC connection.
you all ready now that UPC has reduced the download speed for newsgroups from 12:00am to 12:00pm
the best way to avoid this is to use SSLv2, there are all ready some other newsreader who support this option.

Why v2 and not v3? You're aware that alt.binz has ssl support?

I did ask my newsgroup provider if he was able to ad more SSL ports (443 563 are default)
you can read more about this on www.chelloo.nl (has noting to do with upc)

this was his answer:

Apparently UPC only reduces SSLv3 traffic. SSLv2 traffic remains uncapped. Find a news reader that allows you to connect using SSLv2. Newsbin Pro and Usenet Explorer are two such readers that we know have introduced this option.

i have tested it with Newsbin Pro and it works
