I use Gnus at work, where I have dual-boot Win2k/FreeBSD box. On Windoze big messages download very slowly, but when I reboot to FreeBSD (both OS' have GNU-Emacs 21.2, Oort Gnus 0.15 installed) download is an order of magnitude faster. I tried increasing TCP window size in Windows (I did little tcpdump inspection and suspected that to be a problem), but it didn't help at all. So I just let it be this way. But agreed - this is a major pain-in-the-ass for w32+gnus+IMAP users... Does anybody know if this problem also happens in XEmacs/W32 setup? -- Best Regards, Krzysztof Jedruczyk
