It sounds like you're doing everything right. Which server are you using? Some providers don't carry binary newsgroups, especially if it's a free service from your ISP.

What happes when you click the Newsgroups button on the toolbar. Does it show the newsgroups downloading?

Thanks for replying, i am using server news.giganews.com, the newsgroup tab on toolbar says " connected to giganews ( 216,196,109,131 )

Click the Settings button on the toolbar. On the Server tab, is the SSL option checked? If so, change the port to 563 to use encryption. If you don't want to use encryption, uncheck it and use port 119.

Hi, i have just noticed it is still downloading headers, is this correct?
 

BinaryBoy's reply to kencity62 #15409 @

Some newsgroups are very large. I suggest you set the Starting Point to Last 10000 and then increase from there so you can download headers in a reasonable time.

Thanks for that admin, i have requested 10000 headers, but no results show, can you advise please?
