Default Giganews servers whacked?

Getting duplicates, triplicates, timeouts WTF?



If you don't need binaries, try this free server:

http://www.eternal-september.org/

Fast, reliable, free ...


Karl, I get the same thing with eternal-september.org every so often, and
Thunderbird will subsequently claim it couldn't send a post when it really did,
then when I retry the operation I get duplicates or triplicates (I've learned
not to retry the operation until I check to see if the first post actually made
it). If eternal-september.org is acting up I can usually switch to my astraweb
account and that will work fine, though (as Leon mentioned) I don't think AT&T
(my service provider) has their act together, and some of my news server
problems may very well be ISP problems...
