    Assuming you have set up the Giganews server correctly in Newsleecher (username, password, ports, number of connections), you can just click the CONNECT button in the top left of the newsleecher screen.

    Alternatively, look in the Newsleecher options and tell it to Connect Automatically

    I use Newshosting so can use 8.

    I believe giganews is 10.


    Put 8 to be on the safe side.
