#48 Can not connect to Usenet server with Windows 10

Anonymous — Mon, 30 Jan 2017 20:57:54 -0000

Hello, I just tried to use HelloNZB 1.4.6.1and it will not connect with the server on the computer with Windows 10. Java 32/64 is installed. Also the servertest does not work.If I push the download button....nothing happens. Other functions of the program are freely accessible. I have another computer with Windows 7 and that one works fine.

Hehe, I hope it does not :)
Well, I am really sorry, but I have no idea.
I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work under Windows 10 ... after a while.

Will get back to you if I can reproduce your error!

So I finally managed to install Win10 on my machine. However, I cannot reproduce your the error you're experienceing with HelloNzb, sorry. On my machine, using latest Java, it's running fine, as under Win8.1.

Yes... After HelloNzb stopped working, I found SuperNZB and that works perfectly. Not as nice as HelloNzb, but functional..... 8-)

It's really weird.
Have you tried another Usenet client from that same Win10 machine?

I installed Java 64 bit. Started HelloNzb and it failed again when I tried to 'Test Server Connection'. Same error data. This was with both 32 bit and 64 bit Java installed. Then I uninstalled the 32 bit Java and restarted Windows 10, but it still failed the same.

Thanks for the detailed bug report, that's very interesting. Unfortunately i have no Windows 10 machine at hand right now, so I cannot test it at the moment. I plan to update within the next weeks though.

One shot in the dark: Have you tried both the 32 bit and 64 bit version of Java?

I installed HelloNzb a week ago or so on Windows 10. It ran fine until two days ago. It ran it OK late one evening and I shutdown the PC. After turning it on the next day, HelloNzb failed to connect to the UseNetServer.com and still does not....

I uninstalled HelloNzb v1.4.4 and deleted the register line below. Restarted it, re-entered server data and it still failed to connect.
Uninstalled and deleted from Windows registry.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\me\mabra\hellonzb

I uninstalled HelloNzb again and tried running V1.4.3.1. Still failed to connect.

I tried the .jar release for v1.4.3.1, Same failure.

I disabled AVAST Anti-Virus and ZoneAlarm firewall, Same failure....

Below is the log of the HelloNzb v1.4.4 failure and the current Java version I am running.

HelloNzb Log:
DEBUG: Default NIO client: Initialised.
DEBUG: Default NIO client: Starting main loop ...
DEBUG: Creating new channel #1

DEBUG: NettyNioClient stopped
DEBUG: NioClient should shutdown now

JAVA version:
Java Plug-in 11.60.2.27
Using JRE version 1.8.0_60-b27 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
Java website tells me this is the latest version.

Then I installed HelloNzb v1.4.4 on my old Windows Vista computer with the same version of JAVA installed.
It ran perfectly... No problems... The problem seems to be related to Windows 10.
