I'd like Noffle not to switch automaticly to offline mode every time upstream server sends a RST

My upstream server sends a RST every second connection attempt. I 
think it's nothing more than overload of the upstream server. 

Noffle switches automaticly to offline mode when it receives a RST 
from the upstream server.

It's very annoying to have to run 'noffle -n' every second article I 
read. 

How about a config option for disabling the automatic switching to 
offline mode in case of:

1) RST from upstream server
2) Connection timeout from upstream server

In these two cases I have never done nothing more then a retry (except 
that mandatory noffle -n).

We where discussing it once, and the discussion ended with a 
conclusion that we need code to automaticly retry after a timeout. I 
think we do not need that much. Simply supressing that switching to 
offline mode would be enough. Manualy retrying to read an article is 
OK, but manualy doing noffle -n every retry is not OK. It takes an 
order of magnitude more time.
