Using gnus-asynchronous for specific servers only

Using gnus-asynchronous for specific servers only

[Hrvoje Niksic]

I've just tried the freshmeat thing (along with Shenghuo's patch --
thanks, Shenghuo!), and I like it.  However, my connection to
news.freshmeat.net is not all that fast, and I decided that article
prefetching would be exactly the right thing for me when reading that
group.

So, how do I tell Gnus to prefetch articles only in a single group, or 
only on a specific server?

Can't you add (gnus-asynchronous t) to the group properties, i.e. set
it as a group-local variable?  This at least works for turning /off/
prefetching for a particular group.

HTH.

Nope.  Tried it, didn't work.

Bug?

So you have `gnus-asynchronous' set globally to nil, but have
`(gnus-asynchronous t)' in the group params, and that doesn't work?

Let's see...  Yes, it looks like that variable is being checked while
in the article buffer, which means that the group param setting
doesn't work.  I thought we decided a while ago to copy all local
variables from the summary buffer to the article buffer?  Did I forget 
to write that code?

No, there's a call to `gnus-summary-set-local-parameters' from the
article buffer setup code, so that should actually work, I think.
Hm.
