Words outa my mouth, I have used BNRx and helped in the old forums and
this list for many years (got 3+ years worth of posts archived in this
newsreader), but never heard or seen such a thing, IMO something else got
in the way like zonealarm and its yEnc blocking problems.

If you try to start BNR3 while its already running you will get the
"unable to open database" thing just as you say.

BNR3 does not need anymore work IMO its as good as perfect, I have it
running for ages without problem (last time it was left for a very long
run it did 28 days 13 hours while I was away and just short of a TB) I vac
and frag (via a bat file) the msglst's (sqLite DB's) around once a month
(cant remember last time I had to setup a new sqLite DB gotta be more than
18~20 months) and use contig to defrag the msglst as part of its start up
so its always as fast as a new DB even if its >800 MB. There is no other
newsreader/downloader that can come close to the power or automation, but
it does need to be setup to the computer its being used on, all of which
has been posted about many times search the list for .bat files, page
files, BNR setup, database or just read TF list ...via Gmane is best IMO
but YMMV.
