haha still 19 and in decent shape/no hair loss, but broke as a joke (a.k.a. college student w/o rich parents). Oh how I envy you!

Trade you, you can have the money? when i was 19 I was a Lance Corporal in the USMC living in Okinawa Japan. I would love to have some of those times back.

here is some music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tcbHWnTApA  Title of "Hey 19"

Guess I'll stick to sabnzb and keep waiting.

Just use Stunnel like daddy_fizz said. A great guide on the giganews help: http://www.giganews.com/faq.html#q7.4

except exchange news.giganews.com:563 for secure.usenetserver.com Port 563, 443 or 8080. As I gather that is what you'll be moving too.

Works fine for me with SABnzbd

I used that guide of giganews and set it up as stated, changed all the details as required, and after a few secs (after restarting sab) stunnel shows 9 connections then does that for a few secs then just does nothing.

What am I missing? Ive updated the sab ini to use the new port as well

[brucedlx]

quite the detective connovar. I guess I'll try that out.

Also, what's the point of SSL? Aren't you connected anonymously to the news server anyways?

The point is avoiding man-in-the-middle reading your traffic. It is encrypted between the client and the server, so routers etc inbetween can duplicate the traffic but it will be useless.

The details you should enter in sab is the host address of localhost and port number should be the same value as the one you entered into the stunnel config

         [nntp]
         accept = 119
         connect = news.giganews.com:563

So that example it would be 119.

Once thats setup and Sab is connected all stunnel should show is the number of connections and Sab will download like normal.

I tend to only use it at work so I'm not a fan of work seeing what I'm doing So I download using SSL directly into an encrypted partition that Sab and stunnel are run from. So no one should be able to see what I'm doing.

Otherwise theres an article here: http://filesplit.org/2007/01/22/sll-usenet-access-the-real-reasons-if-and-why-you-should-use-it/ which mentions the reasons for it and also says if you don't need it then don't use it. Mainly because its reported to put an extra 200-300% CPU load on the servers, so if you want to help you NNTP supplier then don't use it unless you need too. As when I get home I just use the normal service without SSL.

Let's all put a billion quotes in the same message. Seems like a good idea, not hard to see wtf you're referring to at all..  Duh!

[mgtsol]

As of the last release, 0.13, hellanzb (http://www.hellanzb.com/trac/) is SSL capable. I love this piece of software in a way that is quite unhealthy 

I think it's only for linux and mac, though with a bit of hacking you might be able to get it running on windows

[jp22382]

Looks like folks with giganews can just use this and bypass stunnel altogether:

http://www.giganews.com/accelerator.html

Haven't had a chance to try it out, but it looks like a simpler option.

EDIT: ok that was easy. Running SABnzbd with Giganews Accelerator, full SSL support. 

[Stilllife]

ok. So this still doesn't work for me. I've updated my stunnel conf file with

[nntp]
accept = 8181
connect = secure.usenetserver.com:443

(reason for using port 8181 is that when using 119 it tells me its a restricted port and cannot access, this is SAB now)

Sab ini is pointed to http://127.0.0.1:8081/sabnzbd/queue/ and it just comes up with an error. Now, these sab settings work perfectly without stunnel running so i am obviously doing something wrong within my stunnel setup.

So now, with stunnel pointing to this port via SAB loading up the SAB page to view que and such i get this error msg

200 fe67.usenetserver.com -- http://www.usenetserver.com/ (Tornado v1.0.
502 <B>This is a news server, not a web server.</B> (Tornado v1.0.8.419)

What am I doing wrong here. I know it must be  simple thing.
