# News Server

You may specify your news server and a username and password if your news server requires you to authenticate yourself. Please note that if you change your news server then the newsgroup tracking files will be invalidated. If you change news server, then you must delete all the files in the .glitter subdirectory of your home directory with names that contain the title of a newsgroup.

The 'Concurrent Connections' box specifies the maximum number of connections that will be made to your news server at the same time. Many news servers allow more than one connection. If you have a fast connection to the Internet, specifying more than one here can dramatically improve your download performance.
