Timeout too sensitive
Submitted by kosmofilo on Tue, 11/15/2011 - 20:45I've been using FeedsAnywhere on a slow connection and it always took few seconds to load the feeds page. The new "timeout" feature however is making it very hard for me to load it:
"An error will now be shown when a request times out. This will usually be due to a loss of network connection on a mobile device."
I understand why it was added but in my case it's just a very low latency and download speed, and not a complete loss of connection. My current frontpage is full, so even reloading it many times didn't work. The only workaround was to open categories and read them individually.
Could an option to disable this connection check be added?

The timeout got adjusted
The timeout got adjusted shorter than I realized so I disabled it for now. Please let me know if you see any other issues.

I'm having problems again.
I'm having problems again. I'm trying to read feed #9262, but my browser downloads about 100KB and then FeedsAnywhere throws this error, both in the complete and title views:
The FeedsAnywhere server could not be reached. Please check your connection and press here to reload the page.
It seems that it's the same issue I had before: FeedsAnywhere think that my connection died, but it's just slow and still downloading.

2 minute timeout
I increased the timeout to 2 minutes so hopefully that will be enough time. At some point I'll have to figure out a different method for detecting the loss of connection.
