Just sent a short note to the carol Klein thread and got the message
bounced and a note that says

Your article could not be posted
   Talking to news.demon.co.uk on Tue, 6 Sep 2011 11:25:40 +0100
   >>>
   <<< 201 Access Denied (Hit Connection Limit) (newsfe05.ams2) (No
Posting)

VERY STRANGE

What I sent was.........................................

No, no, I mean locally Sacha.


(I see you are confined to computer with all this rain and wind around.
Stopped raining but too wet to cut grass or finish off hedges. Sigh.)


Think I'll wander over to seed companies and order some shrubs and
Miscanthus nepalensis  seed............


ooh ooh I forgot to send you the autumn snowdrop bulb though the giver
refused point blank to admit to me that it is the normal one!
I'll go and see if i can dig it up for you

It may be no more that too many people attempting to use the news
server. The note would have been generated local to your system, by your
news reader.

Don't think it's anything to do with you.

Sounds like the limit of people connecting to the news server was hit
(the Demon news service is out sourced to Highwinds and has probably not
been as good as it used to be).

If it 'just one of those things' then I'd not bother about it. If it
keeps on happening demon.service is probably the place

1. Go to the Agent Newsreader FAQ at
http://www.forteinc.com/agent/faq.php
and look for the FAQ entry
‘Agent relays a "too many connections" error from the server’


2. Notwithstanding what this FAQ entry says, some people find it works
best for them if they set the maximum number of connections manually
and _disable_ the option to automatically adjust the maximum number
of connections. It seems that Agent's option to automatically detect
the maximum number of connections does not work with some news
servers.


3. If you are cancelling active downloads before they complete, this
can
cause this "hit connection limit" problem on some news servers.
Try not cancelling active downloads.

Not sure this has anything useful to apply to Janet though.

she isn't using Agent, there is AFAIK no way to control the number of
connections to the server in Turnpike and the comment about cancelling
downloads seems more likely to refer to binary groups.

And the issue isn't really down to Janet - she will have just one
connection to the server - it's got more to do with Highwinds and Demon
methinks
