I just changed turned off SSL and set it back to port 119, do not have any problems downloading!

I am not experiencing any slow down using SSL, at work I got 8MBytes and at home I still get my meager 150KBytes.

yes i'm still figuring out what ssl is needed for :)

i will keep the implementation as a simple couple of days work in the meantime (right now it means defending from passive attacks like spoofing e.g. network administrator logging traffic or ISP limiting usenet related data through parsing tcp packets), then if users will ask for more i can add it as well.

Many thanks Alex for adding in SSL support into the program, it has been working for me without fault.

It might be worth mentioning to UNS that UE is now "SSL Aware" as they put it...

Noticed other have the little SSL badge and now UE should too.
