Is it just me or has the newsgroup slowed up today? It is downloading one
post, waiting a few seconds and then downloading another. It took half an
hour to download about 160 posts, (dial-up connection). The computer seems
normal in other web sites and my anti-virus and updates are all up to date
so I don't think that I have a virus. I have been assuming that the few
virus generated posts that I am seeing in the newsgroups are just the tip of
the iceberg and Microsoft is being deluged with millions of them. Anyone
else having trouble?

Hi Sandy

The MS news servers have gotten hammered over the last couple of
days. Little or nothing is getting distributed to the individula
servers I've checked. You can still use non-ms news servers - the
ones I've checked seem to work fine
