Short pause after each article download
« on: October 23, 2007, 05:40:35 pm »
I've been noticing some behavior with recent versions (currently 0.26.1) where there is a pause after each article download, and the speed drops to nearly 0 kb/s. Then the next article starts and the speed increases to the limit. The same articles download without a hitch in newsleecher. I have not seen anything alarming the logs, and the articles are complete. Any thoughts?

Detailed log? Number of connection? Article caching size?

Can you try some of the previous versions?
Some firewall/avp software that monitors nntp port?

No, I mean, do you have something already installed that slows down traffic.
Oh yes, also try setting 'Select group' under server properties, then restart connections and try.

I don't have any firewall/avp software installed that monitors nntp. Only AVG antivirus and windows firewall.

No luck with the "select group" option.

I should note that this problem is not constant. Sometimes the downloads are fluid between articles, other times the pause occurs.

I see in specs that AVG monitors nntp port.
