5ec0d20286 improvement in news-server/connection management: new option <ServerX.Group> allows more flexible configuration of news servers when using multiple accounts on the same server; with this option it's also possible to imitate the old server management behavior regarding levels as it was before r599 2013-03-17 12:21:46 +00:00

5251f62665 major improvement in news-server/connection management (main and fill servers): if download of article fails, the program tries all servers of the same level before trying higher level servers; this ensures that fill servers are used only if all main servers fail; this makes the configuring of multiple servers much easier than before: in most cases the simple configuration of level 0 for all main servers and level 1 for all fill servers suffices; in previous versions the level was increased immediately after the first tried server of the level failed; to make sure all main servers were tried before downloading from fill servers it was required to create complex server configurations with duplicates; these configurations were still not as effective as now 2013-03-14 22:30:59 +00:00

e99b790d58 added new option <ServerX.Cipher> to manually select cipher for encrypted communication with news server; manually choosing a faster cipher (such as <RC4>) can significantly improve performance (if CPU is a limiting factor) 2013-03-04 22:01:14 +00:00

12c09693bd refactoring: removed class <NetAddress>. That makes <Connection>-class more transparent and easier to use. The TLS-initializing moved from <NNTPConnection> to <Connection> 2012-05-03 10:51:13 +00:00
