The error generally happens several times in a row and intermittently during a download. My DL will often start at max speed(1gig) then within 10 seconds immediately drop to nothing for about 30-60 seconds. It will continue doing this through the DL many times. Here is the error message.

“Failed to connect: [WinError 10060] 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”

The error first started with Newsgroup Ninja several months ago until it annoyed me enough to look for another provider and ended up with Newsdemon, which actually gave me a little faster speeds(From 110MB/s to 133MB/s) but the same error was still happening over and over. I had set newsdemon to higher priority with Ninja as a backup, using SSL and downloading with SABnzb with max connections set to 50. With newsdemon, I also started getting a new error of too many connections being attempted(75) even though I have it set to 50 max. This never happened with Ninja and seems to mostly occur if I set multiple downloads in a queue.

Has anyone else experienced this and know any possible fixes? I’m going to reach out to support for the providers for more help. Cheers.
