I was trying to access feedbase.org to get nntp access to RSS feeds. The
website is still up, but the it doesn't let me access the NNTP server.
Is it just me or is the service down?

Try the NNTPS (port 563) - works for me.

OK, port 119 also works

That's odd. I get that receiving data and connection to feedbase.org
fails. I guess it must be on my side somehow.

I just noticed that fail on startup with port 119.
SSL/TLS port 563 is working fine.

I am getting it on both. Will have to look on it on another machine later.

Hmm. It refuses connection on 119, but does connect on 563. it just
doesn't let me pull the grouplist then though.

It seems intermittent.
Sometimes it spins (New Groups just spins - maybe there aren't any new
groups), other times it comes up.
Might be server load on the long list.
Once the Current Group List is up it seems to work fine for subscribing.

Ok, maybe a stupid question: but does it need a username/password?

I don't see any place on feedbase.org to register and the Thunderbird
video shows the setup without authentication selected.

Do you have Server Settings / Always request authentication when
connecting to this server - checked?
