lnternet connection timeout elapsed, continue waiting?

[jazz1]

Hi;
When I use Agent Newsreader, I get get frequent error message:

"Avast Connection Timeout
Internet connection timeout elapsed, continue waiting?
Yes   No"

This interupts and stops all downloads/operations in progress in Agent, even if I say yes.
Is there a way to fix/disable/extend waiting period, without disabling virus protection?

I have all the latest updates etc. for the Home addition.
I am on an always on connection(cable) that is firwalled ( Router and Sygate firewall)
Other programs do not seem to be affected.


Any ideas or help appreciated.

Whilst avast scans the downloaded email/news groups, etc. the connection is idle and may confuse Agent/avast! that there is no response from the server.

The solution is to extend the timeout delay in Agent and avast!

OE example of increasing timeout, I assume you can do something similar in Agent.


avast! increase timeouts.

That looks like what I was looking for.
Thanks
