I seem to have developed a sudden problem in Newsbin. It appears to be operating correctly but response to any user interface inputs is very very slow. Even clicking on a tab takes up to a minute to display that window. Switching to paused improves the response but it is still very sluggish. I kind of think the problem is outside Newsbin but I'm having trouble narrowing it down. When I look at the running processes, Newsbin has two that seem to be taking all available CPU time. Even when paused.
I have been getting errors like:
ERROR Error: SSL Negociation Failed, Host: news.giganews.com Error: SSL Connection Failed: 5 Error 0 Success
(repeats 2 more times)
ERROR DG - Connection Failed: GigaNews Server Index:1
(repeats 2 more times)
On occasion and there seems to be a lot of Spam in some news groups lately. But I can't really correlate anything. I do notice that the "Cache:" line on the bottom seems to be stuck on 200/200 (19). It seems like usually the 19 is zero or briefly one or two.
So questions: Could server or network probelms be causing this? What processes would Newsbin be running when paused that would take up a lot of CPU? What can I do to get Newsbin to work off the cache? Usually when I leave it for a couple of hours the number seems to go up. I'm guessing it did an update. Could it be stuck on some set of titles? Is there some way to flush the cache and start over?
I hope this makes some sense. I'm still trying to get a handle on it. Thanks for any help.
