I unsuscribed & resuscribed but to no avail. The other newsgroups rec.music. celtic & rec.uk.folk, I still have with no problems. I justed posted a message 'Test please ignore', can that be seen. Thanks for you help. Barry |

05 Mar 00 - 07:07 PM (#190056) Subject: RE: What happened to rec.music.folk? From: GUEST,Bruce O. I can see Barry F's test on rec.music.folk, too. The wonderful world of digital! I haven't been able to get on the internet today until about 15 minutes ago, and my ISP appears to have gotten a corrupted file of user IDs and passwords, and it's decided that now it doesn't like the only password I've ever had, and I can't get to my mail, in or out, at present, and I can't see my website, nor can I update it (which I'm ready to do), because my ISP FTP server that won't accept my passwored either. |

06 Mar 00 - 12:01 AM (#190230) Subject: RE: What happened to rec.music.folk? From: Sandy Paton Bruce, I am reminded of an old wheat farmer I once harvested with. The 1931 John Deere tractor we were using would stall out periodically. Old Joe Camp would stomp around and kick that sucker right on the nose and cuss: "Goddam machine critter anyhow!" Sometimes it seemed to work. At least the machine critter would start again. Now plant your feet right in front of your CPU and... Sandy (cyber-consultant) |

06 Mar 00 - 10:09 AM (#190353) Subject: RE: What happened to rec.music.folk? From: GeorgeH Almost certainly the problems are down to your ISP . . it's something we know well in the UK!! That's why I currently access Newsgroups via Remarq (which I prefer to DejaNews) - it may take longer for messages to arrive but at least (almost?) all of them do. [Yes, I have compared "delivery" via an ISP with that via Remarq; with r.m.f. up to about 50% of messages were not making it through our ISP; on cam.misc as many as 80% of messages failed to make it.] Or as a sig in my part of the world used to say "The Internet is full - go away" G. |

24 Jun 08 - 09:56 AM (#2373211) Subject: RE: What happened to rec.music.folk? From: Abby Sale As of today, Time-Warner Cable no longer carries r.m.f. Too few subscribers, they say. No warning, just plop. They kindly advise I can buy it from several "premium" (ie, for fee) providers. Phutt! True, it's essentially moribund now but I and many others still monitor it and occasionally post. I been there some 20 years now. Many's the time (though not recently) near-fried, cold-turkey Mudcatters have messaged there WHAT'S HAPPENING? when Mudcat was down 10 minutes or more. Well, I guess I can access through Google Groups but it was a Good Thing to get threaded the newsgroup direct to my own computer and mailor. Phutt on Time-Warner! |

24 Jun 08 - 10:06 AM (#2373217) Subject: RE: What happened to rec.music.folk? From: GUEST,Jon It's a shame they are going and fewer ISPs support them. I rarely see anything of interest on rmc and rmf these days though. |

24 Jun 08 - 10:10 AM (#2373219) Subject: RE: What happened to rec.music.folk? From: DebC I've had the same thing happen with uk.music.folk The last post is from March 14. But I still get rec.music.makers.guitar.acoustic. I haven't troubled my ISP with it, though. They are a small operation and probably have more important things on their plate. As Abby says, it must have something to do with the traffic on them. There is always Google groups, I suppose. Debra Cowan |

24 Jun 08 - 10:12 AM (#2373223) Subject: RE: What happened to rec.music.folk? From: Paul Burke Add aioe.org to your newsgroup reader, they carry it and they are still free. Limit of 25 posts a day, but since rmf seems to have had a total of 75 posts this month (despite WAV) you shouldn't be troubled by that. |

24 Jun 08 - 03:34 PM (#2373466) Subject: RE: What happened to rec.music.folk? From: Abby Sale Excellent, Paul. That works - the host (main server) address is nntp.aioe.org I'm even able to tell Forte Agent to pull r.m.f from there but still pull any others from Time-Warner. Thanx. |
