Thanks for that Brian. I hadn't checked their site as although it was
hanging posting and taking a couple tries updating groups it WAS getting
through.

Cheers,

Ummm just a test to see if reader etc works..

Your test failed, since it appeared in a non-test group.

Indeed! Shame on you for posting to alt.compulsive.pedants.

Slowly getting back up to speed here. It does tend to throw up a
connection error every so often.

I've set up a mirror newsgroup connection with aioe.org - works very well.

The gist is this, although the server hardware was near its replacement
date, it failed unexpectedly and had to be replaced. It took a while to
build it and get the software working initially under a different name, ie
reader in place of news, but now its all propagated through to the DNS
servers I think and its working as before.
However I do occasionally notice it drops the connecting and needs a prod,
whether this is just configuration, I'm not sure. I'm using a different
sever as my main one and ES as back up on this machine ere..

Ah but is it getting posts from other servers like this on in a timely
manner, not today it seems.

Did that ages ago on this ancient RISC OS computer. It visits both - but
doesn't download duplicates. But not both of them carry all the groups I
read.
