While reading through a newsgroup, gnus gets into a seemingly-infinite loop trying (unsucessfully, probably) to get the same article (as seen in a nntp-log buffer). Is there a way to limit the retries? (I'm fairly sure it's not 'nntp-connection-timeout'.) Also, is it really necessary for it to send along to the NNTP server my username and password with every request for an article? Is there a problem with NNTP connections not being able to be kept open for long times because stateful firewall rules time out and the authentication has to be done for each connection? Thanks.
