a few days ago this started to happen when using a progam to download files it uses port 119 in side the program they say it the better set up fpor downloading from them.
everything fine fro over 6 months now i get error message this there reply (company)The error code 10061 means “Connection Refused”. It can either be
returned by a local firewall rejecting the connection, the news server itself, or anything in between. Have you updated or installed any
firewall or antivirus software on your machine since this started happening?
my reply I have not installed anything new on our pc. I am using Avast pro antivirus and have been for say 6 months without a problem it just started a couple of days ago.
Found another part on your forums about the port number change. I changed it to 23 and it let me download again after it finished downloading it shut newzbin down and restarted it changed the port back to 119 and it let me download again but after about 25 mins of downloading it stopped the last few files from downloading.I checked the status and it was the same reply so changed the port back to23 and downloaded straight away. Something on this pc does not like the port 119 so I will continue to use port 2 3for now.
there reply It is Avast doing it. We’ve had similar reports that was traced to that software.
If it did an automatic update in the background, that could have changed some setting that caused this to start happening.
There should be a way to configure it to either ignore NewsBin or to allow port 119.
if this is true were can i find how to let Avast let me use the port 119 i looked everyware but i may have over looked it
help any one
just a quick thought could it be windows fire wall that doing it i just rememberd about it on pc so added it to the allow program just in case i will kep you informed
