Anyone else here using News,Individual.Net?

I am finding connecting to it very slow (up to a minute) recently.
Once I am connected, messages download fine, it's just the initial
connection that is slow.

It seems to be just a NIN issue, connection to Eternal September is
almost instantaneous.

I'm having to trouble at all. Could it be at your ISP?

No problems here, but I'm using Hamster to connect with remote
servers.

It seems to be a Martin Harran issue since I also haven't experienced
any problems with NIN (not for years actually).

So, it looks like I need to do a bit more digging at my end. Thanks
all who responded.

In windows open a CMD window then type 'tracert news.individual.net' to
see where the hang up is.

I figured it out. For some reason, 'Server requires Secure Connection'
option became deselected so Agent was using port 119. Secured using
port 563 is much faster though I don't know why 119 was so slow.

Perhaps Agent was (silently) timing out on port 119 and then trying
port 563. Or something like that.
