|
| Send keep alive messages every XX minutes
| Check this box if you want Gravity to keep the connection to the news server open. Some news servers terminate a connection if Gravity has been idle for a while. Do not set this too short or the server may consider it abuse.

| Check this box if you want Gravity to disconnect from the news server after a certain amount of idle time.
|
