#53 HelloNZB does not connect with server in windows 10

[Anonymous]

Hello, I just tried to use HelloNZB 1.4.6.1and it will not connect with the server on the computer with Windows 10. Java 32/64 is installed. Also the servertest does not work.If I push the download button....nothing happens. Other functions of the program are freely accessible. I have another computer with Windows 7 and that one works fine.

What does the log say?

Hmm, it's hard to say without any specific error message.
Are you sure you use the SSL setting correctly, and the correct port number?

Everything is set correct. I tested the settings with another (very small) nzb download program (unzbin) and works perfectly. I can get by with the other program, but rather would like to use HelloNzb.

Does the server connection test work?
If not, what is the error message there?

[Anonymous]

In HelloNZB the message when testing server: Cannot connect to server.
Maybe a java problem a/o windows 10?

[Matthias]

Quite strange. Have you updated to the latest Java version?
Moreover, do you have any chance to try it with another Usenet provider/server?

It seems that version 32 bit and 64 bit java do not work well together in Windows 10. After using only 32 bits version java and then reinstalling 64 bit java it seems to work fine. I suspect Windows 10 is updating problems on the go.

Glad to hear it's working for you again!
