Subject: Gnus with cygnus & Earthlink is hanging and flaky for me
Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2005 03:12:11 GMT [thread overview]
Message-ID: <828y4wfb3n.fsf@usa.net> (raw)
I'm having trouble with Gnus under cygwin using Earthlink news
servers. Things just hang often, requiring me to use C-g to
interrupt, or to quit gnus/emacs and restart. When it hangs there
seems to be a lot of activity on my DSL modem, but I can't tell what
Gnus is doing since there are not messages.
Sometimes is hangs when it says it's reading the active file,
but then I set gnus-read-active-file to nil. Sometimes it hangs
when trying to move to the next article, and then when I get tired
of waiting I press C-g to interrupt, press space to read the article,
and I get the message about openning a connection, and the article
comes up. My gnus-use-article-prefetch was only 4, so it should
have prefetched quickly. I then gave up and set gnus-asynchronous
to nil, just so I could get some news reading done. But it is still
flaky at times. I've also set nntp-buggy-select to t.
I don't know if it's a problem with the Earthlink servers, with
Cygwin, or Gnus itself.
Gnus 5.10.6
Cygnus 1.5.13
