I recently got the NNTP version of the VN newsreader running (which I dearly
love), and I tried it out on a remote machine, since we don't get "soc"
or "alt" groups here anymore. I traced the NNTP server session, and noticed
that VN sends a "list" command to the server twice right in a row.
Since the machine I was connecting to gets a ton of groups, a ton of
group information is getting transferred twice. This slows things down.
Can anybody tell me if VN is supposed to be doing this twice, and if it
is, why?
