If so your leafnode setup is probably fine. Yes. Under Netscape I have subscribed a certain number of NG..After having fired fetchnews...I can now read, mail etc., Under Netscape it works...and with the nifty mutt I have also no problems. >> Now is it possible, that gnus will need several minutes lets >> say up to a 1/2 hour in order to read ther active file...in which >> is empty ? /var/spool/news/active.read has nothing inside. >> >> Is this normal ? > >Hmm. My /var/spool/news/active.read is also empty, so that is probably OK. Bud I tried to put read-active file to 'some. But this was not a good idea. I was gratified with a crash of gnus and xemcas. But I do not think this is a bug...I guess it's just not possible setting 'some with the setup I have. >I have seen gnus appear to hang up for indefinite periods if I try to read >a newsgroup that is not yet present. That is, if I subscribe to a new >group leafnode puts a dummy message on the server saying that new messages >will be downloaded the next time fetchnews runs. I did run fetchnews again during this after-noon. I have something like 30 subscribed NG...some have quite trafic. But, the correspon- ding messages "were fetched". If I catchup that group >and then try to read it again before running fetchnews, or if there are no >new articles in the group after I run fetchnews, gnus hangs up trying to >get the non-existent new articles. Once fetchnews brings down some new >articles for the group, gnus works fine. Could this be what is happening >in your case? Hmm. I just fetched this after-noon. I have in fact no buggy NG's subscribed, some of them I know since years. I just can understand that it's taking "ages" in getting these subscribed NG under gnus in form of the usual Group-Summary. When I am talking "hanging", it seems that gnus is reading the active file from nntp server, which is localhost. During this period, it's not possible to give "any" commands. It's just sucking... Under Netscape these groups were read within minutes... I run a 586 Machine with 64 RAM. Do you have an idea, why this is taking so long ? And I still have not as yet the "Group Summary".
