Can't Download With ATT DSL

by marcusg52 @
Hi,

I've been using binary boy for years without a problem. I just switched to ATT DSL, and now I can't download anything. It's connecting (if I click on "Newsgroups," BB confirms that I am connected to the server, and that the newsgroups are being downloaded. When I do a search, it looks like it's connecting and downloading files, but apparently it is not. Am I missing a parameter here somewhere?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks...Mark

On July 12th, AT&T began dropping binary newsgroups and could potentially drop Usenet altogether. This is what you might be seeing. You can send me a log if you'd like me to take a look. To create a log, run Binary Boy from Start | Run like this: binboy.exe -log -ilog

Binary Boy will write its progress to My Documents\Binary Boy\Logs\log.txt

By the way, the Binary Boy Usenet service still carries binary newsgroups. You can get a free trial here and test if the newsgroups you want are carried.
