OT? Newsgroup posts take long time to leave Outbox


Recommended Posts

Posted

Using XP SP2, IE7.

I subscribe to groups on several news servers that are extraneous to the

news server run by my ISP, including msnews.microsoft.com. Every post I make

to groups on these servers leaves my Outbox almost instantaneously, EXCEPT

those I post to msnews.microsoft.com. These can take anything up to 30

seconds to leave the Outbox. Can anyone think why this should be, and is

there a fix?

When did you last Compact Outlook Express and run Disk Defragmenter?

Outlook Express? If yes what is the answer to my question?

I use both, and the phenomenon happens in both. Defragging the HDD has

nothing to do with this problem....

I don' think this has anything to do with your computer, your

software, your network connection or anything on your end. The MS

server farm just takes a while to handle a new post. I use Agent to

read the groups. When I send a post off, Agent handles it in the

background and I can go back to reading other posts. I do notice that

the "Sending new post" progress bar stays around for 30 seconds or so,

like you've noticed.

It is simply because msnews is a busy server.

Interestingly, I'm posting this from an XP SP2 machine in a different

location on a different (8MB) broadband supplier and the posts leave the

outbox in one or two seconds....the broadband I usually connect to at home

is only 1MB....
