newsgroup availability

2011-08-19 Thread Steven Schveighoffer
Has there been some strange issue with the newsgroup lately?  Frequently,  
I'm getting load errors (I assume this means the NG load is too large to  
deal with my communication).


It seems to be happening daily...

It's the same for everyone because it's a problem of the newsgroup server,
not the client. I guess the server(s) needs more CPU running in parallel to
reduce load.

Could it be the cause of frequent Thunderbird freezes? I can't tell 
because I only started using it for the newsgroup a few weeks ago.

Yes, I've also had the same error in the last few days...maybe we can 
have a mirror (that is sync'd regularly)?

You could use the web interface to the newsgroup when you see the lockup  
and check if that loads or displays an error message about some load factor

It does.

BTW, this problem really makes me want to avoid the newsgroup...  I get no  
indication from my newsreader when it's "working", only when it's broken.   
So as a consequence, if I want to send a message or read messages, I have  
to keep polling to see if it works.


This seems like an artificial problem, does anyone know what the cause is?
