Since my latest apt-get upgrade and the newer version of slrn(0.9.7-5), my download of newsgroups has slowed to a crawl. If I remove the .slrnrc from my home directory, speed goes back to normal. If I change the setup in the /etc/news/slrn.rc file, the same thing happens. I've done the slrn.rc-conversion script, fixed any errors that appear, etc.. Before this upgrade, slrn was working perfectly.
Anyone else having this problem?
