Cannot access Sourceforge NNTP sever

[David_Jones]

Hi All,

I am having problems accessing the sourceforge NNTP server.

I have it set up correctly (I believe), but I keep getting the following error returned:

500 Sorry, job queue is full

Configuration:
Account: nntp.sourceforge.net
Server: nntp.sourceforge.net
User name: XXXXXXX
Protocol: NNTP
Port: 563
Secure(SSL): 1
Error Number: 500
Code: 800ccca2

I have been getting this consistently for a while now.

Whilst it appears that this is due to excess load on the server, and not my connection details being rejected, I am beginning to wonder due to the ongoing failure to work.

Can anyone else connect to sourceforge's NNTP server?

Note that the following may help:

Server Name: nntp.sourceforge.net
Requires Login (Set up via sourceforge.net web site)
Do NOT use Secure Pasword Authentication
Port: 563
Server requires a secure connection (SSL)

Thanks,

David.

Bump.

Still cannot access that server - anyone got any ideas?

Thanks,

David.
