Anyone having problems with these guys? Yesterday it appeared
the servers were off line for about 30 minutes (can't recall
the time) and again this morning for a short time.

Downloading your brilliant prose has been slow for a couple of
days now and it seems messages aren't showing up promply after
posting.

They show no outages on the website so I'm wondering what's up?

NOTE: It's not Cox/Highwinds, other news servers are OK.


I noticed the same thing. It's not the first time. So I
downloaded the leafnode package and am going to start using it to
retrieve new posts from a bunch of free servers. Should get them
all that way. But I'll still post through motzarella, which has
always worked.

They must not have very dependable newsfeeds.

I've been using them for quite some time now and haven't had problems
until the last two days, I figure they'll work it out and go back to
being solid as before (I hope!) so I'm making no changes yet....

You've been really lucky, I think. Just as some others here have obviously
been really unlucky.

I'm not giving up on them. Just making sure I get all the posts.
(Unless I completely misunderstand the leafnode docs :-)
