  • Mystic's NNTP is VERY SLOW

    From cslr@21:3/181 to All on Thu Apr 27 17:02:52 2023
    Hi

    I'm writing this from NNTP news reader. It seems fetching new
    articles using NNTP is very slow (Mystic A49). It can take
    one minute or so to load a single article using NNTP.

    Any idea why this is so? I would like to use news reader
    to read my echomails.

    Hi/Update

    Tried two newsreaders which both didn't work (one of them was
    Thunderbird). Finally found that Claws Mail works correctly with Mystic
    BBS NNTP which is buggy.

    yeah i gave up on it when i tried it. duno if the protocol has evolved separately from what the RFC says or what.. (i.e. Mystic does it the old way? who knows)
