Thunderbird and nntp passwords

Is there a way to stop thunderbird resetting the nntp password/username
(then requesting these to be re entered), when the number of allowed
connections is exceeded on Giganews via pipex?

I think this is a bug - if my IMAP email server goes down I get the same
problem, where Thunderbird seems to automatically assume that the
problem is of authentication rather than a server related issue. The
only way to resolve it is probably to check the bugzilla and make sure
they're fixing it in v1.5.

I didn't find a way. I've ended up paying the extra £2 a month for a
better connection to Giganews.

This has brought instances of this happening right down, it'll only show
it's face now if I click through groups/articles very quickly.
