Going via gw4. (just reconnected as nntp was slow)
update:-
Just reconnected now via ag1 no problems, so looks like a problem with gw4 (vlan8.pih-gw4.plus.net)

It's worth bearing in mind that you'll get an authentication prompt if you exceed the maximum number of allowed threads from the same IP (which I think is set to 4).

Why had the number of threads dropped? Giganews usually offer 10 threads.

AFAIK it hasn't. Here's an excerpt from my Newsbin logs (with the server configured to use 4 threads):

Could it be that you have a Plusnet news account configured in another client that's open at the same time? (something like Thunderbird for example)
