Version: (0.5.0 beta 6)
OS: (OSX Leopard 10.5.8 )
Install-type: (OSx .app)
Skin (Plush, Smpl)
Firewall Software: (None)
Are you using IPV6? (no)
Is the issue reproducible? (yes)

Pretty simple.  I can't connect to any news servers with beta 6.  Works fine with beta 5 and previous.
Tried Astraweb and Usenet-news.  get error [Errno 49] Address not available - Check for internet or DNS problems
uninstall and reinstall beta 5 and all work well.
This is on a Dual Power-PC Mac G5 Leopard 10.5.8
Thanks for any suggestions.

I just noticed a post that said the "Test Server" button is broken.  Am I to assume that actual downloading will work correctly, just this button is broken and throwing out the error?  Thanks,

Yes that's the only problem.
