The ssl Astras are secure encrypted connections (like https for web).
They use ports 443 or 563.
The unencrypted addresses are
eu.news.astraweb.com
us.news.astraweb.com
and use port 119
There's no point in trying secure AND unsecure connections, choose
either.
But you should be requesting articles from both EU and US servers of Giga
and Astra.
