I think that is a reasonable way forward out of the option jungle - make --http-proxy-retry and --socks-proxy-retry NOOP-with-warning, and change the behaviour to "always SIGUSR1". That way, all connection errors either "direct" or "via any sort of proxy" will (should?) lead to the same restart behaviour, no special options to remember. gert -- USENET is *not* the non-clickable part of WWW! //www.muc.de/~gert/ Gert Doering - Munich, Germany g...@greenie.muc.de fax: +49-89-35655025 g...@net.informatik.tu-muenchen.de
