G'day folks.
Over the past months I've found more often than not 'news.eternal-september...' fails to login, and for extended periods not
just a short while.
Is anyone else using this news server having similar problems?
G'day folks.

Is anyone else using this news server having similar problems?
Eventually it logs in again and I forget about it, but after a few days
off it goes again.
I have the following in my Newshound servers directory. (Obviously in a
file of its own called 'nes').
# News server hostname:
news.eternal-september.org:8119,username,password
It's the same as it has been for many years.
It is not a big problem as n.e-s is my secondary new server, but I would
like to know if...
1) Is the above entry correct or has it changed in recent times?
2) Anyone else encountering the problem?
3) And Why?

My primary news service is News.Individual.NET which seems to be okay.

I did take a look at their status page http://www.eternal-september.org/serverstatus.php?language=en earlier
today, and the first two boxes were showing yellow. I could still get
news though, and its back to all greens now. When you have problems take
a look at the page.

I can't remember where I picked up the usage of 8119 but
I do remember it was online somewhere. :-(

Ah! a useful URL.
Interestingly, since you posted about using 119 I changed my entry to just >> 119 and it seems to be working without the irregular failing.
Time will tell. :-)

Thanks for posting the URL, I can use that.
My file reads:-
# News server hostname:
news.eternal-september.org:8119,********,*******
Should that 8119 be changed to 119?

Mine is still 8119 and always has been and works.
If its working leave well alone
All I can say is...
Since changing my 8119 to 119 the eternal-september login has not failed once...
So far. ;-)

I recently went to the URL given by Druck for eternal-september and interestingly the port noted there for news.eternal-september.org is just
the 119.
