Multi usenet servers...

[opentoe]

I've signed up for another usenet service. It is an unlimited service so I don't have to worry about how much I grab from it. I know when I add a server to Sab and mark it as a BACKUP server it will be used just as that...when the first server can't get what it wants or times out, it will go onto the second server. What happens when I uncheck the box and it is NOT a backup server, but a regular/stanfard server setup? Now SAB has two configured servers, how does it utilize them?

Once again, I've not read through the source code (nor do I have two servers) so this is 100% guessing, however, I presume it'd just use them at the same time. So, if server A has 5 connections set up and server B has 5 connections set up, it'd open up a total of 10 connections, downloading the same file from both servers (Obviously the different parts of the same file, E.G. one article per connection).

When you have two primary servers, they are both used.
The fastest one will be used most.
(Same goes for multiple backup servers.)

I use multiple back up servers, it would be good to be able to have SAB just use back up A and only go to back up B or C if needed. Is there a way to pick which server to use first?

It may be a good idea, but will be a quite long time before this changes.
