Your Fast Usenet account allows up to 50 connections at the same time. This message means your newsreader tried to open more than that. Here's how to fix it:

1. Lower the number of connections in your newsreader's server settings to 45. This leaves room for older connections to close before new ones open.
2. Check for other programs or devices using your account at the same time, such as a second newsreader or another computer. Their connections count toward the same limit.
3. Close your newsreader completely, wait a few minutes, and open it again. If your newsreader closed unexpectedly or your internet connection dropped, old connections can take a little while to time out.

Please also remember that your account can be used from one internet address at a time. See Can I connect from more than one IP address?
