@cindex NNTP, Gnus fails to work with
There is a bug in NNTP version 1.5.10, such that when multiple requests
are sent to the NNTP server, the server only handles the first one
before blocking waiting for more input which never comes. NNTP version
1.5.11 claims to fix this.
You can work around the bug inside Emacs like this:
@lisp
(setq nntp-maximum-request 1)
@end lisp
You can find out what version of NNTP your news server is running by
telnetting to the NNTP port (usually 119) on the news server machine
(i.e., @kbd{telnet server-machine 119}). The server should give its
version number in the welcome message. Type @kbd{quit} to get out.
