No idea what all that means. but I'm not getting downloads.

 
if your newsreader is "user-agent: betterbird (windows)", might ask in
news:alt.comp.software.thunderbird , might also try another newsreader:

i use several newsreaders, 40tude dialog for downloading and archiving,
free agent for queue organization and posting, xananews for stats, etc.
 

Fine. I do that too: Gravity, Xnews and Dialog, but I would prefer to
use Thunderbird/Betterbird.
That is not the question here.
I like the server Paganini and have been using it regularly for a while
with setting SSL/TLS Port 563.
It stopped working today, which was my original post.
However, I went back and 'undid' SSL/TLS and the port went to 119 and
lo-and-behold, down came the posts.
Should I leave it there or do I gain anything by using SSL?
I can also use eternal-september, but it can be flaky although that is
happy with SSL/TLS.
Confused.

the paganini sysadmin uses "user-agent: mozilla thunderbird" and is
active in many news server newsgroups, e.g. news:news.admin.peering,
news.software.nntp,news.admin.net-abuse.usenet,alt.free.newsservers,
etc., and their "info" page suggests port 563 should be operational:
