Hmmm... This is very strange. Before I used a made up username and password of more than six characters long, and this used to work. Now it comes up with "username and password incorrect."
I've heard from others no username and password should be used, but if I do that the response is "authentication failed, check username/password."
I assume the first method is the correct one, so why is it not letting me connect? Can you shed any light on this mck? Or is it now no longer a free server like it used to be?
Interesting. During that down time it had a while ago they must have changed the server authorisation to just that combo. Because before you could have typed anything for the username and password (as long as it was 6 characters or longer) and you would log in. So you can see why it never occurred to me to try test:test as it is only four each.
Ah well, it is working for me now and I have my favourite news server back!
No it is auto assigned to you but it is a derivative of your email address you sign up with. Same with your password, however it looks like it is totally randomly generated from numbers and letters.
I'm using weathergirl-ipv6.tele2.net (no username/password, max 4 connections). Don't know if they keep it up, but it's no speed limit and about 20 days retention. Works pretty well for some extra speed together with a pay server.
Edit: ipv6 only, for ipv4 you need to be a Tele2 customer, there you get a "not allowed" unless you come from a Tele2 IP it seems.
Edit2: ipv6-only hostname for non-Tele2 customers.

So you have to use "2a00:801:103:10::35" as your newsserver to avoid timeouts on IPv4. It works for me. I've put it in the the documentation on http://forums.sabnzbd.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8830
Thanks!
Use weathergirl-ipv6.tele2.net instead, which only goes to ipv6 and doesn't resolve the ipv4 address. I'm a Tele2 customer, so I'm using both, but outside the net I use the ipv6-only with max 4 connections. Tele2 customers can have 10 it seems.
