[Pan-devel] 3 patches for pan-0.13.3

[James Hawtin]

Posting the patches here so people can give oppions on them....

patch 1

when dealing with connections to slow/remote servers giving a read error
after 1 minute is not enough, this bumps it up to 5 minutes, really it
would be much nicers if it was a user setable preference (currently its
hard wired), but i don;t know how to do that ;-)

patch 2

If there is a read error from the server (timeout), the task ends but the
queue manager does not disconnect from the server correctly, this is
because there is a timeout error so the socket has the living death, as a
result the nntp_disconnect does not work and just sits there for forever!
This patch only does the nntp_disconnect if there is not a socket error!

Just have to live with the FIN_WAIT states, cos there is nothing else that
can be done.

Happens alot when news server is behind a badly setup load balancer
(welcome to my world), connections are just "disappeared".

problem would be less if pan staggered the connections, firing 3
connections off at the same time seems to cause some to be just dropped
due to some rate limiting. I suggest only one new connection is started
per second.

patch 3

If download articles from multiple groups, only articles in the currently
displayed group are marked as saved. This corrects this, VERY useful for
binary users, otherwise you can forget what you downloaded!
