Limit on NNTP message size Re Claws?


 

Hi is there some limitation on the max size of a NNTP pull from BPQ with claws?

A recent bull sent to BBS@WW with bbs list is ~ 70K. When I try to view it in claws, I get the following on BPQ-6.0.24.54 w/ claws 4.3.0 (64 bit Arch Linux AUR package).

  This message can't be displayed.
  This is probably due to a network error.

  Use 'Network Log' in the Tools menu for more information.

** NNTP connection to 192.168.X.X:119 has been disconnected.

So it appears to time out. I tried to crank up the socket timeout in Claws to 120 or 180 but it stalls out at the same byte count and throws the same error messaging.


 

Not sure if this helps but for more info:
