Looks like the webserver from NI's exchange could be messed up. The news server has been working fine for me. Haven't missed a message yet. If you use windows try FreeAgent. On Linux try Pan or slrn or ...
Use NI's news server: newsgroups.ni.com port 119 no authorization required IMO, everyone on this list should be using a news reader. That web interface is clunky and slow. Let me know if you have questions.
