One thing that might help you is to tweak your browser settings such that your browser will fetch more items from fproxy (and other hosts) at once. This helps sometimes but not always. If you use Firefox, go to about:config and paste this into the filter: network.http.max Several settings will show up for this filter. The defaults are fairly low. If you have a broadband connection, I would suggest these settings: network.http.max-connections : 50 network.http.max-connections-per-server : 25 network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server : 10 If you use IE, there is a similar tweak, but it involves the registry and I don't remember the values. As you're writing with mutt, I imagine it's not worth the effort to go looking .. :) Even with my Firefox tuned to the above settings, I still run into situations where fproxy simply stops responding, even if there are only 1 or 2 active requests, well under the browser limit. I imagine that fproxy is allocated a small number of threads out of the maximum available, but I'm not positive. I hope the browser settings help you, -s _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [email protected] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
