Hello:
I run NNTPCache-2.3.3 on Solaris 2.6.
Until recently I was pulling news from our
bandwidth provider, but they began limiting my maximum connections to 5 so we
had to go to a third party service.
This new service has 30,000 more groups than the
original provider.
Since switching to the new provider,
when clients attempt to reset/refresh their list of available groups, they
get all the way through the list (84,377 groups), and then hang.
It is as if the client software (Netscape messenger
or Outlook Express) is waiting for a response from the remote server that
signals the end of the group list, that never arrives.
The only change I have made to the configuration is
in the nntpcache.servers file, from :
news.bellglobal.com DEFAULT
4h 2d
2d 30m
60d 60d
%BeginGroups # Group pattern Host * news.bellglobal.com To :
pull.newsfeeds.com DEFAULT
4h 2d
2d 30m
60d 60d
%BeginGroups # Group pattern Host * pull.newsfeeds.com Is there a setting in nntpcache.config that could
affect this, or have I configured something wrong in this nntpache.servers
file?
