I wish they'd work a bit on the news server, it's very unstable and keeps
dropping my connection when I'm in the middle of reading an article. It's
annoying having to wait for a new connection, it's not like this is a large
USENET server with 20k groups and 500 concurrent connections either.

I agree,... same problem here, It does get annoying after a while.

hmmm must be a "net thang" cause i have no problems with GRC especially after Steve upgraded his server. Seems very fast and much more responsive....but the AW servers disconnect all the time on me.....could just be the "net route" that my requests are taking...:)

My connection to the AW news server also gets dropped all the time. Outlook
Express will go to the "next" message, but the actual text does not change,
it still displays the text of the previous message. The only solution is to
go to a different news server and come back, or close OE and come back.
(thereby restoring the connection...)

I never get dropped from the AW NG's
Nor anything else I log into, must be your connection settings or e-mail
settings.

I know with my computer in its connection settings there is an option to
disconnect when the connection is no longer needed.
And in the email settings for disconnect after sending/receiving.
Both these options can be turned on or off.

In that case you're lucky :-)) I know for a fact it's no setting, as I
often get disconnected right in the middle of downloading an article. The
server is generally slow anyway. All the other servers I use keep my
connection unless I idle for a long time, except my ISP's USENET servers if
they feel like being crashy.
