Looks like the webserver from NI's exchange could be messed up. The news
server has been working fine for me. Haven't missed a message yet. If you
use windows try FreeAgent. On Linux try Pan or slrn or ...
Use NI's news server:
newsgroups.ni.com
port 119
no authorization required
IMO, everyone on this list should be using a news reader. That web
interface is clunky and slow.
Let me know if you have questions.
