Anyone know what happened to the site and the program?

Bummer. All that is on the homepage is a white background and the words, "This site has been suspended." This totally blows. Oh well, time to pick another appie.

I am a paying customer at www.newsleecher.com.
Their website acts as a 'sales space' for
selling their software that is used to find/trace
and download binaries from a usenet (newsgroup)
server.

I really don't quite get why they are in
violation with b-one.net's 'general terms',
but in my opinion this is really poor advertising
for b-one.net.

Kind regards,
Ivan

It can't make contact with the 'server' most likely - welcome to copy protection.

Looks Like the site is backup. Here's the clip from the news tab of the proggie:

"Feb 10, 2005
At last! The NewsLeecher site is finally up and running again after having been down for the past 12 days. Within the next few days I'll post a full explanation of why the site went down and why it took so long to get it up again.

The short story is that we are absolutely *not* going out of business (at all!), but we had an issue with the provider who previously hosted the NewsLeecher domain.

I apologize for the long downtime! "
