I’m using Anki 24.06.3. Sometimes it sticks in processing when I click a deck. And through the debug mode, I found there was a connection time out. Also I found every time I start Anki, it will connect to ankiweb.net, although I have turned off auto sync. Is this connection necessary? Can I disable this connection?
Its better to leave auto-sync on and decrease Network Timeout from 30s to 5s or any number you prefer
Seems like Network timeout doesn’t have docs (and Periodically sync media is without content)
if anyone is interested in contributing
https://docs.ankiweb.net/preferences.html#syncing
Neither of these things – connecting when you click a deck, connecting to AnkiWeb for something besides sync – sound like something that Anki does natively. Are you sure it’s Anki and not an add-on? Try running Anki with your add-ons disabled to see if it is still happening.
If it is – when you respond, also include a paste of what you get from Help > About > Copy debug info.
The parameter for network timeout is at least 30 seconds. Maybe it’s because of a different version? I see you are running on a Mac.
Mistake on my part, thought it could be lowered
I guess that entering a deck needs some backend operations, and the connection issue blocks these. And I usually use Anki through a parameter of ‘-b’ to assign a specific data path, but for test, I specially run Anki without any parameter once (no data, no add-on).
It’s hard to make that issue recur, as it relies on network status. Next time I’ll keep the log.
I think I found the reason this happened to me when clicking a deck or deck options after start: there is a message about a failed update check, and a blocked connection to 162.55.238.74.
