RE: [Pan-users] Why doesn't Pan download articles?

[Gorwood, Steve]

I had a similar problem and tracked it down to this:

My news provider had a limit on the number of connections.  If I 
requested more than (in my case) 2 connections, the task would
be queued, but the news server would not respond.  Pan got very 
confused and I normally had to shut it down and restart to
get it to behave properly.

Try to restart Pan do things one at a time (i.e., keep the task
list to one item) and see if this helps.

Steven Gorwood

Subject: [Pan-users] Why doesn't Pan download articles?


I just went from Pan 0.11.2 to 0.12.1, and the same issue is still
dogging me. That is, of the 9 newsgroups I've subscribed to, only two
have the most recent days postings. The rest of them have only articles
up to 9/1/2002, a day, almost two, behind. Every time I tell Pam to
Download New Articles or any of the likely candidates for initiating a
download, the queue indicator grows but that's all that happens. Like
now the queue says something like Tasks: 0/32. The task manager shows a
large list of queued items, with none running. The connection to the
internet is fine. I've tried a lot of news reader and this is pretty
basic behavior to be stumped by...
