Tin is slow to start reading a Usenet news group, what can I do about this?
Article:460 Created:2008-03-28 12:10:40 Categories: Unix Usenet News
Question or Symptom
Just entering a group, not actually reading articles.
Resolution
In his .tin/tinrc there is a section called reread_active_file_secs. Default is 1200 seconds than it rereads the active file. Setting to 0 disables this. reread_active_file_secs=0
Also giving tin a few command line arguments will help in starting up....
tin -Q -r
-Q = Quick start
Just tried these options myself and tin started up very fast. I think these options will help in speeding up his news reading.
addendum
might what to add/change: auto_reconnect=ON to tinrc as well, so it doesn't wait for a response to reconnect to server message.
