Some, but not all, providers don't work with SSL

I currently have 3 usenet providers: xsnews, newsdemon, usenetexpress. I would like to use SSL for all providers by inserting the port number 563 in the "Server[x]Port" field at "News-Servers" for each server respectively. The problem is that I'm getting a error message when I click "test connection" for 2 providers (xsnews and usenetexpress).
Connection test failed
Could not receive data on socket from news.usenetexpress.com: ErrNo 10060, A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
This only happens with UsenetExpress. Not with my other providers.
When using port 119 it says "connection successful" for all 3 providers.
Only Newsdemon works with port 563 to get SSL in NZBGet version 20.0.
I also tested port 564 for usenetexpress but no luck there either.

The odd thing is that they ALL work with port 563 for SSL in Binreader (another nzb client). What's going on and how do I get SSL connection for all 3 providers in NZBGet version 20.0?

What happen if you try download (instead of "test connection")?
Make sure the port is correct (read provider docs) and option Encryption of the server is active.
Please post error messages from real downloading.

I got it working now. I forgot to enable "encryption". I was used to just adding the right port in Binreader :). I'm new to NZBGet. Thanks for your reply.
