Until I started using gnus to read mail. Now, if I'm offline and want to read my mail, I have to wait while gnus makes 20+ called to `open-network-stream' (which on my system means running the tcp program). I always connect to the nntp server on the first try (when I'm online), so is there a way to ask gnus to only try once? I've tried `gnus-no-server' but this seems not to display my backends.. :( Thanks. -- ... "There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX.

I've also had similar problems. Sounds like levels perhaps will help? Anyway, my problem is that using gnus-no-server didn't work either but in my case I have mail groups.. local groups nntp+externalnews groups I want to be able to instruct GNUS to find local groups with NNTP using INN and mailgroups but not go looking for nntp+externalnews groups. -- "Mary ate a little lamb and punk rock isn't dead" (PGP key: send email with Subject: request pgp key) From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 X-Msuck: nntp://news.gmane.io/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/3943 Path: main.gmane.org!not-for-mail From: larsi@ifi.uio.no (Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen) Newsgroups: gmane.emacs.gnus.general Subject: Re: Setting the number of attempts to connect.

Then start Gnus with `gnus-no-server'. -- Home is where the cat is.
