Notes on using Newshosting's NHXL service with the pan news reader:
- The "Lightning Accelerator" significantly increases the speed when downloading message headers. In practice, I've seen 300%+ boosts in speed.
- Here is the stunnel command I use:
$ sudo stunnel -c -d localhost:119 -r nhxl.newshosting.com:563
- I then point my news reader to localhost on port 119, and enjoy SSL-enabled communication with Newshosting's NHXL service.
- I also modify ~/.pan2/servers.xml and change connection-limit to 20 and expire-articles-n-days-old to 110. Make sure pan is not running when making these changes.NHXL supports 20 concurrent connections and 110 days retention.
