Now adjust some variable that will cause emacs to wait a few more seconds before giving up on the network and returning that message. When I add the follwing traffic control setting to emulate the slow network, # tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 5000ms emacs-w3m displays the page about 30-40 seconds later. When I remove the traffic control setting, # tc qdisc del dev eth0 root emacs-w3m displays the page about 1-2 seconds later. I have no idea how to rescue your situation, though I guess something is wrong with your system. Thanks, -- Tatsuya Kinoshita pgptqFGR9asOC.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hmm, unreproducible for me. It seems your network is unstable. BTW, if you'd like to try the old version of emacs-w3m, install the w3m-el package instead of w3m-el-snapshot. Also, try eww, plain w3m and other network programs to diagnose. I'll close this bug, because the cause of the problem seems not in emacs-w3m.

It is a race condition. It only happens on my slower computer with slower sites. It happens with both w3m-el and w3m-el-snapshot . It can be simulated by unplugging your network connection and then trying to browse a site. w3m works fine. I need to find the emacs variable to increase the number of seconds before it gives up. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Can you do this simple experiment for me: 1. Unplug your computer from the network. 2. Browse a page. See the Cannot retrieve message? Good. 3. Now adjust some variable that will cause emacs to wait a few more seconds before giving up on the network and returning that message.
