Re: [Pan-users] Question around multi-server and connection errors

[Brian King]

I'm seeing something this behaviour, too.  It seems to happen for
(from my point of view) random binary articles.  The ones that are
broken are really broken - watching it in the task manager, it says
that it's 100% complete, but it's shows a time left and kB/s.  When
the time gets down to a certain point the task gets requeued and the
time left increases to where it was before.  This repeats
indefinitely.

It's the only major problem I'm seeing.  Thanks for all the great work
that's been put into this reborn Pan!  The performance increases are
super - with some overpopulated groups old Pan would crash on my
machine, whereas the new Pan hardly breaks a sweat.

freebsd 6.1
pan 0.117
