That's exactly what I did this morning when it happened again, but
no success. It won't resume automatic checking on any groups until I
shut down the program and restart.
(I recall someone suggested that The Bat! stopped auto checking
after around 36 hours of operation. Maybe that's how long it took
for a server error to stop its routine.)
Isn't there a setting somewhere for how long to wait until timing
out when the server won't respond? What puzzles me is why a program
so far along in development doesn't know enough to give up and try
again later. Or is it just my ignorance again?
