I'm not running the 0.9x series yet, but once you understand how
wait, my news server lets me make 8 connections, so will Pan only make 4 connections even if I tell it to make more? Also, how "smart" is Pan in this regard. Say I'm downloading some binaries and decide I want to peruse another group. If I elect to download headers what will 0.9x do, wait for the binaries to finish or use a connection percentage to download the headers? -- Steve _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
