Keywords: vn Message-ID: <380@unocss.UUCP> Date: 16 Aug 88 17:44:04 GMT Organization: U. of Nebraska at Omaha Lines: 15 I recently got the NNTP version of the VN newsreader running (which I dearly love), and I tried it out on a remote machine, since we don't get "soc" or "alt" groups here anymore. I traced the NNTP server session, and noticed that VN sends a "list" command to the server twice right in a row. Since the machine I was connecting to gets a ton of groups, a ton of group information is getting transferred twice. This slows things down. Can anybody tell me if VN is supposed to be doing this twice, and if it is, why? -- ---------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Tim Russell, Computer Operator | Internet: fritz@fergvax.unl.edu Campus Computing | Bitnet: conslt32@unoma1 University of Nebraska at Omaha | UUCP: uunet!btni!unocss!fritz
