RE: [leafnode-list] Re: Question regarding Fetchnews

["Bill Gross" <bill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Clemens,

	Thanks for responding. I configured fetchnews to gather debugging
information (debugmode =641), but the only message is still "Server went
away when it should send an article." In general the response times from my
upstream, news.earthlink.net, are pretty good. The disconnection seems to
happen about 4 times a day at around the same times...

	My question really is, when the server "goes away" can Fetchnews be
configured to reconnect to the same group it had been working on and
continue down the list of interesting groups? I understand from Matthias,
response that it's not currently possible, but do you think the code could
be modified to do this? I'm running leafnode-2.0.0.alpha20030318a.

Bill

to me this sounds as if your upstream NNTP host is overloaded or
doesn't work correctly.  if you use four `-vvvv' and/or set debugging
appropriately (see config.sample, README etc.) and check the log, do
you see what goes wrong?

also, you could "telnet <NNTP host> nntp" and try commands like
"help", "group <whatever>" to get a feel of how patient a news client
has to be for your upstream.  what's its name?
