I hope someone can help me. For the past two days, I have not been able
to download anything from any groups in Thoth or MT-newswatcher. I can
open the groups and post, but it will not let me download anything.
The only thing that I did recently is use the new TechTool pro for OSX
(Panther 10.3.9). If running this program has done anything that would
affect my newsgroup programs, I can't figure out what. Everything else
works just fine. My e-mail is not affected, and I can surf the net
without a problem.
Anyone have any ideas?
I used the thoth log feature, and here is what it says:

The news server is rejecting your login -- see the lines that say "502
Authentication failed"
Does your news service have a download limit? Maybe you've exceeded it.
BTW, the log below seems to show one message in alt.binaries.pictures
being downloaded successfully before the errors start.
