Hello,

We're currently experiencing network problems with our NNTP server farm
in Europe. This has resulted in the NNTP server becoming exceedingly
slow and/or unresponsive. In the meantime please use our US farm at
news.us.easynews.com. We've engaged our network team and are looking to
resolve the issue ASAP. We'll keep you updated on the status.

We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.
