I usually go to Easynews, and use their global search capability, and can find most anything I'm looking for, but with this thing, I was able to find a few things I hadn't been able to find. > 3. I import the NZB files with the "Try downloading by Msg-ID when > Art_ID unknown on Art-ID servers" option selected. Yep, that's the way I use it, too. Never have a problem, no database issues, nothing. Sure, you lose the whole "browse the headers, spot something you didn't know you were looking for" thing, but if you're after specific things, this is the way to go. -- Thought for the day: The trouble with reality is that there's not background music... +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ Important Addresses: Post message: [email protected] Group owner: [email protected] BNR homepage: http://www.bnr2.org/ Yahoo!
