The last of those. I didn't notice it being down yesterday either.

I did have a glitch about a month ago much like describe though.

I use both here. If one isn't working, the other one likely is. And my
Newsreader will look for duplication, and not download any.

Well its my back up so if you see this then yes, but be aware too many posts
in a certain time tends to blacklist you for some time.

Ironically, I set up a Win 10 virtual machine and also a VPN.

I was then able to go to www.aioe.org's website.

There is a list of "banned IP's and my static IP was listed in there :-(

The "ban" expires in about 1 hr 15 mins so I should be back on AIOE
before too long.....

I'm using nntp.aioe.org on Port 119 - no problems so far.

It was for a couple of days last week - switched to Eternal September for that
time.
