I use pan 0.132 (the version in the hardy repos). I'll settle down to
reading stuff in the newsgroups, and after a while pan won't go online
anymore to fetch another article to read or to post a reply I've
written. I have to close pan then start it up again to be able to carry
on reading news.

Any ideas how to fix this? I use Hardy i386 version.

Try pan_0.14.2.91. You may need to install libgnet2.0-0 as well.

I would say that it is a problem with your news provider, it works
fine for me. Sounds like the server your provider uses.

It's clearly a problem with your news service provider. Ask them.

Seconded. Some open news providers like aioe.org limit you to 25 posts
per day, and 700 "connections". Which means everything you do with the
news software uses one of 700 hits.

It sounds like a lot, but believe me, they go quickly, which might be
the case with you.

I had a similar thing when I started using Pan. Turned out that my news
provider (BT) didn't like the number of simultaneous connections Pan was
trying to open. Setting 'connection limit' in the server detail to 2 has
resulted in a reliable setup. (I think the default was 4)

I see a few people think this. I'm using motzarella.org. Anyone else
noticed such problems?
