I changed from giganews to usenetservers. Now usenet won't download anything, just sets there waiting. Current progress 0
Pretty sure I have it right.

vs. 6.90B12

1 - Update to the latest which is RC1.

2 - Restart and look for errors in the logging tab. 6.90 will put connections in jail for 5 minutes if they fail but, changing the server options will pull them out of jail to try again. B12 didn't do this.
