Message-ID: <m3lntvgrhu.fsf@sparky.gnus.org> (raw)

Someone told me that ssh was quite good at compressing things, so I
switched compression on and used the following select method:

(nntp "news"
       (nntp-address "copper.uio.no")
       (nntp-rlogin-program "ssh")
       (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-rlogin)
       (nntp-end-of-line "\n")
       (nntp-rlogin-parameters
        ("telnet" "news.uio.no" "nntp")))

And things go *way* faster over my 33.6k modem.  I use the Gnus Agent
to download, and this, like, halves the time it takes to download
stuff.

I found a bug in the nntp posting code, though.  Fix in 5.6.4.
