Might have something to do with the massive amount of spam or virus
messages. I've gotten wierd error messages about NNTP server having
too many connections .. as I understand, that is a limit for the
number of users at one time. Just started behaving a few minutes ago
but has been problematic on and off for few days. Also found a virus
last evening, first time in years. Could be some virus infected
computers dumping stuff on the ng, but I don't know.

My isp got it fixed about two days ago. No probs since then. Whatever
it was, it must have affected more than one isp.
