Subject: gnus-agent and header download
Date: Thu, 04 Sep 2003 03:54:16 +0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1ad9lbi07.fsf@xpf.nilpotent.org> (raw)
Hello,
I run gnus on my dialup box, and connect to an nntpcache server across my
dialup link that gets me gmane.* and a partial usenet feed. I have gnus
configured with
- the nntp server agentized
- gnus-read-active-file set to 'some
- gnus-nov-is-evil set to nil
- gnus-agent-cache is t
- gnus-agent-fetch-selected-article in my gnus-select-article-hook hook.
I also have article prefetch turned on.
My problem is that when I enter some newsgroups (especially the gmane ones),
gnus spends a long time downloading headers. This occurs even if there are
only three or four new messages in the newsgroup. How can I make gnus only
download the headers it needs?
I thought gnus-agent was supposed to help here, but it doesn't appear to.
Maybe my combination of settings is working against me here.
Faried.
