#55 Max Connections

[Anonymous]

Hello, I just downloaded and tried out version 1.4.7. I attempted to connect to my usenet service but it kept failing, both normal and secure. I was finally able to get a connection when I changed the max connections to 1 (my account has a max of 20). I attemped to download a Nzb and with one connection, got about 5mbps download speed. If I change the max connections to 2, the connection failed again.

In my research online, someone suggested that the problem may not be with HelloNzb, but with the usenet host. I installed another usenet tool and set the connections to 14. I was able to download the same file at 66mbps. So this is not with the usenet host.

I am not a fan of web based tools, so I would rather use this application, I will monitor this thread for a few days

Hi, can you post the output from the HelloNzb log please?

ok, I think this is the log....Here is the log for a successful test of a 1 connection login

That is very weird, I have used HelloNzb with Astraweb in the past without any problems, also with multiple connections. At the moment I have noe idea what could cause this issue, sorry.

I keep trying and I do get a successful connection at times, may 1 out of 20 attempts.

I just attempted again with 10 connections...

so, it just decides when to connect or not. Could this be related to java version? I am using version 8U151 (64bit)
