SpotNet error messages and troubleshooting

You make more connections to your Usenet provider. Then it’s okay. Check how many you can make. And then see how many you have in SpotNet.

You can adjust this in SpotNet. By performing the following.
Go to Bewerken (Edit) and then Provider… And then you have option Verbindingen (connections).
Here you can adjust the number.

4 connections is often more than enough. If you are using a second Usenet program. Or you can share your account with someone else. Then it can also be because of this.

The solution to this. Can be quite simple. Instead of entering the address of your news server, try entering the ip address of your news server. You can find out the ip address of your news server. In the following way. Press the “Windows” key (key with Windows logo also called the flag) + the letter “R” key. Now an input field will appear.

Type here in CMD. And press Enter key. Now an old-fashioned dos screen is emerging. And type here in “Ping newserver address” as example see “Ping reader2.newsxs.nl”.

Go to the following folder c:\programdata\spotnet ( can be a hidden folder) Right mouse click on the folder. And then properties. Check here if reading alone is not on (should not be a cross)
Then go in the folder folder. And then you see a file with the extension “.db”. Do a Right Mouse click. And then properties. And also check here whether not only reading is on.

You get this error message because SABnzbd is built into Spotnet. However, that is an old version of SABnzbd. And he doesn’t get along well with the local host file. You can check this by doing the following.
Click Start. Click Run. type “%systemroot% \system32\drivers\etc”.
And then click OK. Here’s a file called hosts.
Back this up. Double click the hosts file. And choose the Notepad program. To open the file.
For Windows XP or Windows 2003, only the following line “127.0.0.1 localhost” should be present. So there should be no # sign.
For Windows Vista or Windows 2008 server, only the following two lines should have a no # sign.
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
With Windows 7, only a # character should have. Now there are program that use the hosts file that can no longer function as a result. This is especially common in games that use the antibot/cheat system GameGaurd (for example, Aion: The Tower of Eternity, Flyff, GunBound, and Lineage II)
What you can do is install SABnzbd yourself. And then link Spotnet to SABnzbd. I think this is so convenient. Because then you can also link SickBeard or SickRage to your SABnzbd, for example. And as a result, you have not installed SABnzbd several times. Also, the advantage of this is. That you can just update SABnzbd and not fall behind.

Close the Prgramma SpotNet. Go to the following folder “C:\ProgramData\Spotnet” then open the settings file.xml Open this file with Notepad. Then find the next line<RemoveDownloads>True</RemoveDownloads>. Then adjust this to<RemoveDownloads>false</RemoveDownloads>. Save the file. And try again.

You may be able to resolve this by deleting the rsa file. Be the first to close SpotNet For the location of the rsa file see below:
Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\”username”\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\”usage code”\”code”.
Vista & Windows 7
C:\Users\”Username”\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA
The first line says “Spotnet User Key”.

This often has to do with your news server provider (header server) You can’t do anything about this yourself. Try again at a later date. And visit the website of your news server provider. You may be able to find more information about a malfunction there.

There’s nothing you can do about this either. This often has to do with your news server provider (header server). Try again at a later date. And visit the website of your news server provider. Maybe you can find more information there if there’s a malfunction.

Open the settings file.xml. This can be found in “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Local Application Data\Spotnet..” Look up the following “<ExternalSigning>True</ExternalSigning>” adjust this to “<ExternalSigning>False</ExternalSigning>”. This causes the signing server to be skipped. If this doesn’t work. Check your usenet provider’s site to see if there is currently no outage.

Create a new notepad file and use the following here.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa] “fipsalgorithmpolicy”=dword:000000000
Change the name of this file to “SpotNetfix.reg”.

Watch it! file extension must be on, in Windows Explorer.

Windows 10

Watch it! file extension must be on, in Windows Explorer.
This option can be found under Organize. Then Folder and Search Options. Go to the View tab And uncheck Hide Extensions for known file type here.

This can happen for various reasons.

Download is affected by usenet DMCA. The download will probably work via another Usenet provider.

Your SpotNet classic is not up to date. Newer versions of SpotNet have new download techniques that may resolve the issue.

Download the NZB file from SpotNet or SpotWeb and import it into another program such as SABNzbd or NZBGet.

This can happen when bit.do malfunctions. The blacklist whitelist cannot be retrieved and this causes a delay. You can solve this by adjusting it.

In SpotNet, go to Bewerken (Edit). Choose Bewerken (settings) and then external black and whitelist and enter the link below.

And don’t forget to save it.
http://spotlist.tk/spotnet/blacklist.xml
http://spotlist.tk/spotnet/whitelist.xml
You can try the following. In SpotNet, go to Bewerken (Edit) and then Instellingen(settings).

Or uncheck Use Gebruik externe CSV black/whitelist. (external CSV black/whitelist).

Restart SpotNet and try again.

Right-click on the title bar and check Omvang (Size).

It is best to use SpotNet classic. SpotNet 2 is an old version and contains many bugs. SpotNet 2.0 was made by someone else.

Ja SpotNet is gratis software. There are different variants of SpotNet. En deze zijn allemaal gratis te gebruiken. But to be able to download from the newsgroups you need a Usenet provider. And these are often not free.

The technology behind SpotNet is legal.

Er zijn verschillende SpotWeb sites. So you don’t have to install SpotNet. You then only need a download program such as NZBGet or SABnzbd.

See Usenet reviews for the best Usenet provider.

In SpotNet, go to Bewerken (Edit). Choose Download knop (Download Button). And then NZB Opslaan (save nzb). If you now click on the blue arrow next to a Spot in SpotNet, the NZB file will be downloaded.

The latest version of SpotNet is currently v1.9.0.8. Click Help and then Over (About). Then you can see the version number.

You need a news server and a computer with the Windows operating system. If you don’t have Windows, you can use SpotWeb.

See the manual Installing SpotNet for this.

See tutorial downloading with SpotNet for this.

Yes SpotNet is still very active and new downloads are added daily.

It is best to use SpotNet classic, this version of SpotNet regularly receives new updates.

You must be able to upload to the newsgroups otherwise you will not be able to leave a comment. You may have to enable this with your Usenet provider. You can enable this at the usenet provider Eweka by logging in to the Eweka website.

In SpotNet, go to Bewerken (Edit) then Instellingen (Settings), and make sure Check for update(s) Zoek naar update(s) is turned on. When you start SpotNet you will receive a notification when a new update is available. If you still have problems downloading, try the latest version of SABNzbd. It may be that SABnzbd is still up to date. Usually SpotNet is a bit behind with the SABnzbd version.

Nothing at all! This is SpotNet 2.0 advertising. I recommend that you install SpotNet classic. This one has a more recent download program and has no advertising.

Disable SSL in news server settings and try again. If it does work then you have to remove SpotNet. Then create a new Windows account and then reinstall SpotNet.

This could be because of your Virus Scanner, turn it off for a while and try again.

If you use the Avast Virus scanner, you can do the following.

Open the Avast settings screen
Go to Real-Time shields
Go to Mail Shield
Go to Expert Settings
Uncheck Scan newsgroup messages (NNTP)

If this does not work reinstall SpotNet.

You solve this in the following way. Make sure nothing is open from SpotNet (check via task manager)

Go to Start then Run. (Windows key + R)

At Open type: %appdata%\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA

Click Ok.

There is another folder S- in the RSA folder. Open this, there are a number of files without extension, open them one by one with notepad and search for Spotnet User Key.

Close notepad, and delete the file with the Spotnet User Key. Restart SpotNet. It should work again now.

Reinstall Microsoft .NET Framework 4.

You could disable or enable SLL if it is off. If this doesn’t work, it’s your Usenet provider’s fault, try another Usenet provider. You can try a Free Usenet provider here.
