GetHeaders NntpResponseException

[Squib308]

Running GetHeaders, I get a crash before or as it starts to login to the news server. I've got giganews (my news server), my user name & pass in the .conf file, as well as a group specified. I have it set to download the entire day of today for that group, if that matters.

Unhandled Exception: NntpClientLib.NntpResponseException: NNTP command failed, unexpected response code.
   at NntpClientLib.Rfc977NntpClient.<DoBasicCommand>d__18.MoveNext()
   at NntpClientLib.Rfc977NntpClientWithExtensions.CheckToSupportedExtensions()
   at NntpClientLib.Rfc977NntpClientWithExtensions.Connect(String hostName, Int3

Since it doesn't show what the 'unexpected response code' is, I fired up Wireshark, and it looks like..

(port opens)
giganews says : 200 News.Giganews.com
we say : HELP
giganews says : 480 authentication required
(port closed, program crashes, or vise versa)

..Any ideas? I appreciate it!

Getting the exact same error (also with Giganews). I have another NNTP account I will try later.

Using UsenetBucket as the NNTP server GetHeaders gets a little farther but still crashes.
