Firewall perhaps? Maybe they have reached their max connections.

It seems they're all at it, this one isn't as good as UNS but it's still free

Maximum 64 connections per server on my side (total of 192
connections). This may change as I will be watching my bandwidth
usage closely.

This account will expire tomorrow (July 31st, 2005) after 9:00PM CDT
(August 1st, 2005 2:00AM UTC/GMT).

Maximum of 4 connections per connected IP address.

Each connection is 1Mbps for bandwidth limit. Amount of data transfer
allowed, though, is not metered. This is for article bodies.

Header download is limited to 1.5Mbps per connection.

Servername: news.octanews.com

username: ontrial
password: ontrial31337

Customer web interface does *not* work for this login.

Posting is not allowed, not even to the local groups.

Access to posting server is also not allowed.

Have fun.
