GNU Info (gnus)Slow/Expensive ConnectionSlow/Expensive NNTP Connection ------------------------------ If you run Emacs on a machine locally, and get your news from a machine over some very thin strings, you want to cut down on the amount of data Gnus has to get from the NNTP server. `gnus-read-active-file' Set this to `nil', which will inhibit Gnus from requesting the entire active file from the server. This file is often very large. You also have to set `gnus-check-new-newsgroups' and `gnus-check-bogus-newsgroups' to `nil' to make sure that Gnus doesn't suddenly decide to fetch the active file anyway. `gnus-nov-is-evil' This one has to be `nil'. If not, grabbing article headers from the NNTP server will not be very fast. Not all NNTP servers support XOVER; Gnus will detect this by itself. automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
