newsbin on wine stops downloading headers

[okoolo]

I'm trying to run newsbin in wine (slackware host) but it starts downloading headers and then just stops .. it's responsive, just speed drops to zero .. when I restart it downloads some headers and stops again ..

and it won't load any posts either .. same config works fine in VirtualBox ..
any ideas?

the logs don't show any errors

I'm going to guess it stops because it can't write them out to disk. Newsbin downloads, buffers and then eventually writes the data out. If I had to guess, I'd guess it's the writing out part that stalls.

thanks .. chmod -R fixed it ..
