This is not a matter of Pan being limited by my usenet server. If only it were so easy.

I use Thundernews. Their most heavily limited account allows 8 connections. I signed up for the SSL-enabled and unlimited account which allows 20 connections.

After exiting Pan, I changed the connection limit from 4 to 20 in servers.xml. I also tried setting a limit of 10 connections.

After exiting Pan, when I check the server connections in "edit news servers", Pan shows a maximum of 4 connections. Further, when I reopen servers.xml after closing Pan, the connection limit in servers.xml is reset to 4.

I use the AMD64 packages provided by Garrison Hoffman made available at
