At present I read some NGs but sometimes the downloading of a thread halts
for 30" (this is the timeout value I set in the options for NNTP server) nevertheless soon I can download the thread. Now I think it can be a problem of my news server so I'm asking if it is possible things go better by changing news server. Is there some difference between binding to the news server of my provider or another news server ? il barbi |

You could increase the server timeout for the news server to reduce the
frequency of the warning. Try a minute or two. (Tools, Accounts, News, Properties, Advanced). Each server has its own timeout value. The timeout is how long OE will wait for a response from the server before it considers that there is a problem. That you get the warning often suggests that your ISPs news server is too busy. Going to another news server won't necessarily be any better. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "il barbi" wrote in message ...

That you get the warning often suggests that your ISPs news server is too busy. Going to another news server won't necessarily be any better. ok but I can't understand why, after going in timeout and receiving the warning message, I choose not to wait anymore and immediately click on the news and immediately I'm able to get it... On the basis of this behaviour you understand that it is better to choose the minimum timeout value and actually I did so by moving the timeout value from 1' to 30" (the minimum) - moreover if it were possible I'd choose lesser values and I'm almost sure that the behaviour would be the same. Maybe the server is configured in order to immediately satisfy clients gone in timeout and so I could force the server to satisfy ME before the others (I know this is not fair:-) il barbi |

I don't know how the server is configured. Maybe it's losing track of
the open connections. When you get the error in OE, it opens a new connection to the news server. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "il barbi" wrote in message ...
