502 (Hit connection limit)

Issue #45 new
Gfy repo owner created an issue

When encountering a 502 error that indicates "Exceeded Max Connections" for a server, the execution should be paused for a while.

The problem with this is that the 502 error code seems to be shared with a lot of other errors too and different news servers have their own messages. Maybe test on "connect"?

    It'll fail like this:

    Connecting to 'news-eu.newsgroupdirect.com' failed.
    Grab failed for <...@reader....eu> (filename.r48)
    QUIT sent to main server. NOTHING created.
    502 Maximum number of connections reached.
