Sure I'm using altbinz(free of course)
http://www.altbinz.net/
It works great for me.
secure.news.astraweb.com is what I connect to.
I get 50 connections.
When I put this into altbinz it automatically ticks the ssl box to port 563 or 443
Plus I get three other servers as back up.
I find altbinz perfect for me not being very tech minded.
It unrars the files and everything.
I set up using this quick start guide.
