Thanks to everyone who is helping!

First no need to open new topic, use this one.
If you read FAQ of your usenet provider you'll see that you connected to their pop server and not their news server.

From FAQ:

Code: [Select]

Q: What are the server addresses?
A: We have three server systems:

US (Atlanta): us.Usenet-News.net
Europe (Amsterdam): eu.Usenet-News.net
SSL encrypted: ssl.Usenet-News.net
Normally you should use the system closest to you, but if there is some issue at that system you might use any of the other systems.
All three systems have the same retention, but currently the EU server shows less retention (70+ days) for headers. When retreiving articles via message-ID, (using NZB files for retreival), the EU server has the same retention as the US server.
 
 
Q: How many simultaneous connections may I have to your servers? Can I connect from more than one IP?
 
A: You may use up to 20 simultaneous connections, total, to our server system, but unless you have a serious speed issue we don't recommend using more than 5-8 connections. Using too many connections may even make your downloads slower. Use the minimum number that fills your connection bandwidth.
(Note: You're not allowed 20 connections to each server simultaneously, the total number of connections to all servers may not at any time exceed 20.)
You may connect from different IPs, for example from your home and your office, but not simultaneously.
 
Q: Which ports are available to use?
 
A: You can connect using the standard nntp port 119, and to the EU server you can use the alternate port 443. For the US server you can also connect using the alternate ports 8000, 23, 25, 1720 or 3128.
For the SSL server you can connect using the standard nntps SSL port 563, or alternate port 443. If your ISP caps nntp traffic we recommend using the alternate port, since some ISPs caps the standard nntps port 563 too.
Note that to use SSL, you need to have a SSL enabled newsreader, or an ssl proxy installed on your client computer.

 

So server address is us.Usenet-News.net port 119 or eu.Usenet-News.net port 119 and not Usenet-News.net  port 119
