so what am I doing wrong

You'll have to get a file called "filegate.zxx" and it's available here:

http://www.filegate.net/info/filegate.zxx

That's where you'll get the AREANAMES from. You do not name them in your cfg file like you name the folder.

Okay thank you for your help, I am going to stick with Filetoss, same setup as tinytic
but Filetoss works for me, it was just was hoping to use tinytic newsfile.txt for
posting, but I just use filetoss.txt instead.

Welcome... but didn't I send you over HUSKY's htick?
