Running Debian/Sid, with leafnode version: 1.9.18-3, ISP is Mindspring,
newserver news.earthlink.net.

I'm finding that news downloads with fetchnews (about 76 groups, mostly
comp.*, active), are slow, and that fetchnews often seems to hang.
Other Netcom/Earthlink/Mindspring users are reporting some serious
problems with newsfeeds, including slow and dropped connections, so I
suspect a server-side issue.

The question is how I can get leafnode to realize it's on a dead
connection and to either exist, reset, disconnect, or do something else
sensible.

I'd also like to know how to get a metric for throughput to the server
on article downloads.

Any tips on debugging or troubleshooting welcomed.

TIA.
