10060 error

by Buster52 @
I am with SBC. For the last couple of days I have not been able to use BB to dowmload. It keeps disconnecting and reconnection. And I get a error code of 10060. What is it, and why?

10060 is "A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond."

To test to see if it's a connection problem, go to a command prompt and try to telnet to the server like this:

telnet your_server.com 119

If the connection works, you'll see a greeting beginning with a 3-digit number. If you send me the server address, I'll try to telnet to it from here.

Tne connection address I have been using is, news.sf.sbcglobal.net. That is what I have been using for the last year or more.

Thanks

At this moment, 1:10pm eastern, news.sf.sbcglobal.net is up and responding. If you're still unable to connect, you can send me a log if you like. (Send to support at binaryboy dot com) Instructions for creating a log are here:

I have been able only one time in the last week to get it to download. It keeps dropping. I have sent you my log file.

Thanks

It's not dropping the connection. It's getting an error when creating the part files. Your parts folder might be full. Try cleaning it up.
