Hey Guys,

We're hearing reports of NNTP downloads stalling, particularly among
those downloading headers from large groups. We have been able to
reproduce the behavior and are working with our development team to get
to the bottom of it. Generally just waiting for a few moments will allow
things to return to normal, other times a complete re-connect is required.

Though I think we're not that far off from finding the solution we did
setup an alternate farm that can be used in the meantime. It can be
found at:

bonkers.easynews.com

IMPORTANT: This news farm has completely different article numbers and
will require a new news server setup in your news client.

I'll be sure to post a follow-up once I know more.
