Can't download latest headers

[Simon6996]

Hi there,

I have a new install due to PC crash => I am now running 6.53 3311

Can't use the download latest headers.
Although download age is set to 50 days.
And I reset the group to Use download age.

I get the following error

[18:33:09] ERROR Error: WSARecv Socket Error Code: 10060 Une tentative de connexion a échoué car le parti connecté n’a pas répondu convenablement au-delà d’une certaine durée ou une connexion établie a échoué car l’hôte de connexion n’a pas répondu.

Can you help me ?

Thx

Laurence

Typically that means your software firewall or virus scanner is blocking Newsbin off the internet. You need to tell it to let Newsbin out.

What address have you entered for the server?

[Simon6996]

Address is eu.news.astraweb.com on TCP - 119

Thx

I stopped avast and it works.

Thx

Now I have to figure out how I need to configure it.

Yeah, avast is a common problem when this happens.
