I'm using NNW on a very unreliable connection and this seems to cause it to constantly forget my passwords.

I was previously using NNW Lite 2.1.1 (I think). I upgraded to NNW 3.1.6 in the hopes that it would solve this problem but it has not.

My internet connection is very lossy and HTTP connections fail with annoying frequency. This shouldn't be a problem for an RSS reader as long as I'm not in a hurry, though; any feed which fails to load can just load again during the next refresh cycle.

However, I have several password protected feeds. NNW seems to think that when one of these fails to load, it must be because the password is wrong. Thus I am constantly interrupted by NNW popping up its password request sheet asking for me to log in to a feed for which it already has the password.

Is there any way to make it stop doing this?

The code is quite explicit about handling 401s -- this shouldn't happen unless you're actually getting 401s back from the server.

Is there any chance you're syncing your keychain via .Mac? We've heard of some problems with people who sync their keychains.

Nope, no keychain syncing going on. The password sheets are strongly correlated with network problems. When it's crapping out, they pop up frequently, and when it's fine they never do.

Is there anything I can do to get more information about what's happening behind the scenes? Unfortunately I can't reproduce the problem at will, but if I just wait a while it's likely to happen.
