Zie onderstaande mail, tl;dr: verwijder spotnet een x en vergeet niet om c:\programdata\spotnet ook te verwijderen en installeer het hele spulletje een x opnieuw, de database zal opnieuw worden opgebouwd en de zaak werkt weer...
Attention Customer:
Firstly, we want to apologize because during the process of preparing an improvement to our platform, changes were inadvertently made live overnight to all customers rather than the intended test group. After considering the options available, we believe it would cause greater harm to try and revert this change.
Below is the information we intended to send you ahead of making these changes, explaining what the changes are and how to solve any issues you may encounter. Due to this improvement you will be able to retrieve more complete header information about all articles on our servers.

FAQ’s
What has changed?
The article numbering has been changed: old and damaged headers have been restored/repaired and some missing headers have been added.
What does this mean for me?
It is quite possible you won’t notice anything, except for increased header information. Depending on your usenet software you might have to refresh your groups.
Why can’t I download anything?
Your profile may be damaged. It is also possible that you will have to unsubscribe or remove the newsgroups from your software, and re-subscribe/re-add.
________________________________________
Please refer to the instructions below to help solve header issues for some of the most popular clients.
