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

[Zorrox]

Thanks Steve, maybe the connections settings are relevant. I have two
news servers set up in Pan. Each is still set to the Pan default of one
reserved connection. I altered Pan's default from Allow max connctions =
4 to 1 to see if that would help. It didn't, at least after closing and
restarting Pan.

I noticed that in only one of my 12 or so newsgroups was new news picked
up today. So it's not like it's even getting all of one server's news.

So, does anyone have any other suggestions?

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.

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...
