Another instance of gateway.php is running, try again in 30 minutes if the script was crashed.

So, i launched it on my dev site and with a different newsgroup i ran into the same issue.

Anyhow, is there a way to resolve this ? I have increased my wait_timeout to 1200

Have you gotten this working at all? I just setup an account with Giganews to try it and I'm having the same issue. It hasn't imported ANY threads with Giganews, it just hangs. Sometimes I'll see:

Connecting to server, server says: 200 News.GigaNews.Com

Server responded after user name: 381 more authentication required

Server responded after password: 281 News.GigaNews.Com

...then it'll just hang. Then the next time I try running the script it just hangs and doesn't try pulling any posts, not even ones using the free Microsoft server.

Everything worked fine with a free server that doesn't require a login, my problem only started once I tried Giganews.

I can verify that my username/password works because I can login using Outlook Express just fine.
