Usenet set up Question.....

i am having some problems with setting up my Usenet.
i am new to this but old hat at Torrents.
i signed up to Giganews silver account today
my account is active.
i DLed Unison for mac/registered etc.
opened ports 23, 80 and 119 in my router
when i input news-europe.giganews.com in the server box all i get is the spinning disk.. it will not let me insert UN/Pword.
i opened up prefs and added server/UN/Pword... spinning disk again.
i decided to add news.giganews.com, UN, pword and Unison kept on crashing. had to force quit every time.
emailed giganews support and they tell me that i must authenticate during log in... Unison had nothing related to it.
i have deleted Unison and am trying to find another newsreader.. any recommendations?
or general info on where i maybe going wrong?

Usenet consists of 10's of thousands of newsgroups that are replicated around the usenet network. What you are paying for is access to the network and for the bandwidth you consume in downloading. Many ISP's offer usenet as part of their customer package but the retention times and file completion rates are much lower than that of paid services like GigaNews APN etc.
I don't use NZB but I believe they are similar to torrents in terms of identifying all the parts required to download a complete fileset. The difference is that Usenet has no P2P or seeding. Its a one way download between you and the hosting network. The Usenet client typically manages the downloading so you don't have to use another program. If your downloading rar files you'll likely need something to unzip them. If you use a client that supports NZB then your all set.
There are also services like newzbin.com that index what is available on usenet and provide a searchable database of content and the NZB files to load into your client.
Hope this helps to clarify things more.

    Any help is highly appreciated.Yes but what kind of help do you expect to get? What kind of help do you think is possible through something as cold and distant as a forum, where you clearly require personal guidance and tutoring?

  • How to create yes or no radiogroup dynamically for a set of questions

    hi,
    I am new to APEX.Depending upon my project requirement I need to create a set of questions with yes or no as radiogroup buttons,appended with a textarea for each question.For ex:
    1.Name o Y o N [ "text area"]
    The above line specifies the model I need.
    Here text area is used for writing comments.
    Now the question is how can I create them dynamically using apex_item.
    Its very urgent.Kindly reply me soon.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for ur quick reply.
    But what actually I need is,I need to create the radiobuttons also dynamically.
    I have created them by the following syntax,
    select ename,apex_item.radiogroup(eno,'y' ) yes,apex_item.radiogroup(eno,'N')
    from emp;
    but the problem with this is ,
    when I inserted yes for the first one it is taking and if i am giving the second one also as YES then it is not accepting ..means it is checking the second item by clearing the first one.
    What I need is when I check the second one the first one should not get cleared.
    Thanks in advance.

  • How to redirect user from login page to "Set Challenge question" page

    How to redirect user from login page to "Set Challenge question" page (NOT custom page) after 3 un successful password attempts?
    Meaning when user types wrong password 3 times they will be redirected to set Challenge question page. If user answers the challenge question then password reset page should be appeared other wise (after remaining 3 un successeful challenge question answers) account should be locked out.
    thanks for your help.

    hi sandeep
    Thanks for your answer. Let me ellaborate more on the requirement here.
    - Password Policy and Lost Password management are set up in the identity system
    - Configure login tries allowed= 5. Verify accout is lock out after 5 unsucessful login.
    This is what need to achieve.
    1) If a user attempts to login 3(not 5) times using an incorrect login credential he/she should be redirected to set challenge question (security question) page.
    2) Then if the user attempts (remaining) 2 times incorrect challenge answer then his/her account should be locked out.
    3) If he/she answers the challenge answer correctly then he/she should be redirected to password reset page.
    Is this possible?

  • Different user options with different sets of questions

    Is there a way I can have two different options and when the user clicks on option A a whole set of questions/form fields appear. Or if they select option B a whole different set of questions/form fields appear?
    How would I go about programming something like that?
    Hopefully I was clear enough. Thanks so much! :)

    Hi Arnold,
    SAP Logon Tickets issued by the Portal contain two user ids, basically one for Java Systems and one for ABAP systems. See also note 843061 for details.
    You do not need passwords for the reference system, if the user mapping is maintained by the user administrator, and the UM property ume.usermapping
    .admin.pwdprotection is set to false, see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fe/d22a41b108f523e10000000a155106/frameset.htm. If you set the mapped user id programmatically, or if you retrieve it from an LDAP server, you also do not need to verify the ABAP password of the user (see https://media.sdn.sap.com/javadocs/NW04/SP12/ume/index.html and http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/0b/d82c4142aef623e10000000a155106/frameset.htm).

  • Forcing Users to set Security Questions

    Hi All,
    Currently when a user joins the organization, the user can go to IdM user interface, login and set security questions. But this is an option only if user wants to use self service in IdM. So, it has been found that users are not setting it and it becaomes a pain when they call help desk for password change and help desk is not able to verify the user's identity because security questions are not set.
    Please share your thoughts how other organizations are handling this situation.
    Is there any way that we can force a user to set security questions when the user logs in first time?
    Regards,
    Gaurav

    Hello,
    In our Organization we did the following.
    Under the Security tab there is a Policy tab.
    There you should find a policy called: Default Identity Manager Account Policy.
    Under Secondary Authentication Policy Options make sure "Enforce Answer Policy at Login" is checked.
    In page help states:
    Select this option to enforce the authentication question policy when the user logs in to this interface.
    This solution works however it did become problematic while we had pass-thru authentication configured.
    All the best

  • Presenter 8 -- need help with proper settings to allow quiz retake (with a NEW set of questions from a random pool)

    We are publishing a Presenter 8 quiz to an LMS in a SCORM format.  I am having trouble with the following:  the quiz is built with multiple question groups, and a limited number of questions are being selected from each group.  E.g. we have 80+ questions in total, and 25 are presented to a user on a given attempt.
    When a user fails the quiz and exits the quiz normally, we want them to study and try again.  I set the quiz settings to allow infinite attempts, and set the LMS settings to make sure the quiz is not presented in "review mode".  When I test this quiz by failing it the first time, when I reenter the quiz, I am taken to the last slide in the quiz (which is the last one I viewed), and I can retake the quiz by navigating back to the first question.
    Here's the problem:  I am presented with the SAME set of questions, rather than a NEW set of random questions.  This will facilitate cheating (all a user has to do is take the quiz once, review the answers, and then take it again to pass it).
    How do I insure that the user is presented with a NEW set of questions when I retake the quiz?
    I am open to upgrading to Adobe Presenter 10, but would rather not have to do so.  There must be some setting I'm missing.

  • How to install Twitter app without setting security questions?

    Hello! I recently registered a Twitter account. iOS 6 includes Twitter integration - great. When I navigate to Settings - Twitter and tap the Install button, a dialog shows up: "Improve your Apple ID security" and "Set security questions" blah blah. There are two buttons in the dialog, "Set questions" and "Cancel". If I tap Cancel, Twitter app download doesn't begin and Twitter icon disappears from my SpringBoard. If I tap "Set questions", I need to answer some stupid questions. If I leave answer boxes empty, I can't continue. I will not set any security questions for my Apple ID, that's for sure.
    How I can install Twitter app?

    I just encountered the same problem when I tried to download Twitter on my husband's new iPhone 5.  There was no problem when I installed Twitter on my iPhone 3GS yesterday :-( 
    You've probably seen by now that there are many, many people who are having problems with the 'Help improve Apple ID security' message - not confined to iPhone but also on iTunes, iPod Touch, iPad etc.
    I chose the 'Not Now' button on his iPhone 5 and the Twitter app wouldn't allow me to proceed ....
    Looks like Apple aren't in any hurry to fix this because people have been complaining about it for months (after all,  your post is more than 3 months old and the problem is still occurring).
    Were you ever able to activate Twitter on your iPhone 4S?

    Hi .. I can not re- set the questions of confidentiality in order to forget the answers in my account

    If you aren't getting the reset link on the Password & Security section of your account on http://appleid.apple.com then you don't have a rescue email address (an alternate email address is different), and you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions - you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When they've been reset you can add a rescue email address for potential future use : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • HT201363 I never set security questions on my iTunes account!!!

    Hello,
          I have never set up questions for my ITunes account. Soo I can not use my iTunes cards for enny thing!! My and my brother share and he got the cards for his birth day and we want to use it for a game.
                Please help
                      From:Bailey Lerma

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • Is that possible to report score from a selected set of questions in a quiz?

    Hi I am new to Captivate and SCORM. I've been reading the forum discussions and Lilybirl's blog, and learned a lot in the past few days. I wish someone could help me with this too:
    We hope to design a course within a single captivate project which allows the following functions:
    There are several pre-tests and one post-test. The scores from each pre-tests will be used for branching purpose. See, if one takes pre-test 1 and passes, then she will go to lecture 2; otherwise goes back to lecture 1;  if one takes pre-test 2 and then passes, then she will go to lecture 3; otherwise go back to lecture 2; same for pre-test 3, 4, 5, ....  Now I know that I can use a customized variable to realize this part. I can create a user varaible as pretest_score, and set it as 0 at the beginning of each pre-test; let it do the math everything the learner answers a question slide. Then at the end of each pre-test, jump based on the value of  the pretest_score. Then for the post-test, the pretest_score will be set as 0 again, and the culculation will start from 0. It will also generate a customized report page to report scores on each pre-test and also on the post-test.
    However, we wish to be able to pass only the final score on the post-test to the LMS. Since I read that most of quiz variables are read only. Is there any way I can get around this? Is there something in the SCORM package that I can change to the variable that I created so that I can pass this variable's value to the LMS?
    Any suggestions would be very helpful.
    Thank you very much.

    Hi,
    I do not describe it in the blog posts, but you could also set the scores of the pretest question slides to 0, and track those scores only with a user variable and advanced actions. That way the total score will have only the scores of the final test, where you attach score to those question slides. Only one annoying thing: the total number of questions will have all the questions included, same with the number used in the progress indicator. You'll have to avoid showing those numbers to the user, but if you can live with that, could be easier than to create custom question slides.
