           Summary: Preloading articles in KNode
           Product: knode
           Version: 0.7.7
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: knode-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: heikki lsd dk


Version:           0.7.7 (using KDE 3.2.1, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2 20031218 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r5, propolice-3.3-7)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.6.1

It would be nice if KNode could load the next article while I am reading the current one. 

This should be optional, but on by default. Perhaps in a bit limited way: If I click on an article, just load it, as I am obviously reading only selected articles. But if I hit space for next article, chances are good that I will do so again, and it would make sense to start loading the next article already.

It would nice if the preloading could be aborted the moment I decide to go for some other article than the one being preloaded...

This would be especially useful on a slow connection and/or in newsgroups with lots of large binary attachments, typically pictures (with lots of bare skin :-)

Keep up the good work
