18 <b>Q:</b> What is the difference between NOFFLE and leafnode?
|
|
|
19 <p>
|
|
|
20 <b>A:</b> NOFFLE uses less resources (disk space and bandwidth). Downloading
|
|
|
21 groups in overview mode is several times faster, because it uses the XOVER
|
|
|
22 command instead of HEAD. In addition, there is the quasi-transparent mode,
|
|
|
23 when online, which allows to browse through groups and cache everything
|
|
19
|
24 without subscribing.<br>
|
|
|
25 NOFFLE is GPLed, leafnode isn't.

31 <b>Q:</b> I subscribe to groups, but get a "Retreiving failed"
|
|
|
32 message for every requested article.
|
|
|
33 <p>
|
|
|
34 <b>A:</b> Some news server do not allow retrieving articles by message-ID.
|
|
|
35 You cannot use NOFFLE together with these servers presently.

41 <b>Q:</b> I changed the server in the config files, but the
|
|
|
42 new groups do not appear.
|
|
|
43 <p>
|
|
|
44 <b>A:</b> You should run <code>noffle --query groups</code> again. If you
|
|
|
45 want all old group information deleted, you should remove the file
|
|
|
46 data/groupinfo.gdbm in the spool directory before.

52 <b>Q:</b> The Emacs news reader GNUS hangs while getting active list
|
|
|
53 from server.
|
|
|
54 <p>
|
|
|
55 <b>A:</b> This is a known phenomena and I believe that it is a bug with
|
|
|
56 GNUS, because the log files show correct handling of client commands by
|
|
|
57 noffle.
