| 2 NOFFLE FAQ | |
| 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 4 | |
| 5 Q: What is the difference between NOFFLE and leafnode? | |
| 6 | |
| 7 A: NOFFLE uses less resources (disk space and bandwidth). Downloading groups | |
| 8 in overview mode is several times faster, because it uses the XOVER command | |
| 9 instead of HEAD. In addition, there is the quasi-transparent mode, when | |
| 10 online, which allows to browse through groups and cache everything without | |
| 11 subscribing. NOFFLE is GPLed, leafnode isn't. | |
| 12 | |
| 13 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 14 | |
| 15 Q: I subscribe to groups, but get a "Retreiving failed" message for every | |
| 16 requested article. | |
| 17 | |
| 18 A: Some news server do not allow retrieving articles by message-ID. You cannot | |
| 19 use NOFFLE together with these servers presently. | |
| 20 | |
| 21 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 22 | |
| 23 Q: I changed the server in the config files, but the new groups do not appear. | |
| 24 | |
| 25 A: You should run 'noffle --query groups' again. If you want all old group | |
| 26 information deleted, you should remove the file data/groupinfo.gdbm in the | |
| 27 spool directory before. | |
| 28 | |
| 29 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 30 | |
| 31 Q: The Emacs news reader GNUS hangs while getting active list from server. | |
| 32 | |
| 33 A: This is a known phenomena and I believe that it is a bug with GNUS, because | |
| 34 the log files show correct handling of client commands by noffle. | |
