I appreciate the comprehensive post including the workarounds to the thread limits and the other topics you covered but I was already aware of most of it, including alternative ways of setting more than the hard-coded 4 threads per server. The "problem" is that they are just workarounds and non- permanent ones at that. Still, it's useful to "refresh" the archives with relevant and useful info every now and then :-) I have three news servers configured, My ISP which allows up to 20 threads, a pay server which allows up to 30 threads and a free text-only server which allows up to 4 threads (one is enough, maybe 2 for text anyway). In the past, the ISP one could saturate my 100Mb/s connection quite nicely with just 4 threads running but things have changed and it now takes at least 10. The reason I want to still build from source in this specific case is if I install the binary package and find it has the same unfulfilled zlib dependency then I'm stuffed. Downgrading would be a lot more hassle than just not upgrading in the first place. So, the question really is did the person porting the Linux source into a FreeBSD port/pkg test on FreeBSD 9 or just on 10? Zlib us in the FreeBSD 9.x base system so there;s nothing to install but the file zlib.pc doesn't exist and that seems to be something the installer *requires* to confirm that zlib is there. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
