Now why didn't I think of that ? Of course ! Good idea, Greg.
So I put "pause" between just about every line, and guess what !
I consistently get: bad host
And, of course, when looking for the downloaded news, I get:

So, yet again, its Microsofts's fault !
Any other news servers that may be a bit more accessible ?
