SSL Lib error

Postby Mindflayer » Sat Jan 31, 2026 5:15 am

I am getting this error when trying to download. Search works fine but I cannot download and I am not sure if this is Usenetserver or NewsBin. I have not changed anything since I last downloaded files and these errors just repeat in the log.

That's hard to say, whether it's Newsbin or not.
Maybe remove the server and add it back?
Maybe even check with usenetserver support? (*https://support.usenetserver.com/new)
Do you have access to another NZB downloader, like SabNZBd, to see if the errors persist?

Also, double check you info as here:
