Hi New User of the Avast Forums long time Avast fan.
Ok just discovered Usenet and NZB
I am using SABnzb and If i turn off Avast (all defence) and then connect to usenet server I can download NZB’s
After I connect I can turn Avast back on and it all works fine.
any one got any ideas on this ???
Cheers
Are you getting any errors displayed, if so what ?
I get a connection error 404 something I think … and sometimes it asks for a password which I don’t need from the NZB client
Try to disable NNTP scanning in Mail shield settings.
that did the trick
so what exactly have I disabled and do I need to do anything else ???
You are disabling the scanning of NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol) traffic.
I know avast is compatible with Newsleecher, Alt.Binz apps. We didn’t test other NZB clients.
