So I'm interested in getting some stuff on newsgroups. Supposedly Cox has free newsgroups, but I can't get it to work. I keep getting an error. Is anyone doing this that could help?

What is the error message.

newsgroups were the crap five years ago before torrents made a splash. newsgroups are still faster than torrents in most cases (depending on the pipe of everyone else and amount of seeds).
I don't know how you can mess it up though :D just put in the newsgroup address and download the headers.

Shot in the dark here, but if you are using a software interface it might be by default trying to use a port on your pc that is not open? There is usually a way to change the port, though I can't tell you off the top a good alternative. Also, if you are behind a firewall you may have to do some redirects to get out.

The error message is "502 Cannot connect to NNTP server (my IP address), connect error 10013.
I want to use it to download HD movies. Torrents options are limited.
