bb waiting forever to retrieve posts- Status 'Starting'
First the PC enviroment:
I use BB 1.97 b88 (but the problem did happen even with earöier builds) on Win7pro. It connects over a VPNconnection to giganews (port 563).
Sometimes I change in BB the number ob download connections and bandwidth throtlle between 2 and 20 connections and 15000Kbs - 22000Kbs (and any number in between - depending on the speed I want to achieve).
Timeout 10 secs; delay after error 6 secs, delay 10 secs after rejection; remember Ip address on.
In the same time I use utorrent from the same PC. Since the Pc is located in the basement I am controlling it remotely over a VNC connection. Av Software is now AVG Suite 2012.
I let BB run with a *.lst for 24/7 in an endless loop with auto, loop and autonext option on.
Problem:
Sometime it seems BB endlessly waits for postings and does not go on. In the queue-tab there are a number of connections with the status 'Starting' and that's it. First one or two connections and over the time all connections stay in this status. Even after minutes or hours, bb does not go on.
in the meantime: the PC connection to the internet did not break away, since the VPN connection is still active and utorrent still transfers data (I can see the network activity in the windows taskmanager).
When I manually press the red stop-button from BB, wait for few seconds an press the green start-button, bb goes on and retrieves the postings. then it runs with no problems for some time. When I log on to this PC again after some hours/days, it can happen, that bb again waits endlessly for postings with the Status 'Starting'.
and so on....
