Confirmation of a procedure

I asked about d/l older headers/ articles a couple days ago. I am a
long time user of X-news. I am trying to learn the ins and outs of
BRN2.I think in the long run If I can get a handle on some of the
procedures than I think d/l's will be a more efficient operation than
X-news.

There are some newsgroups that may have several million headers and
articles. I made the mistake when I first set up bnr2 to d/l all the
messages for each group that I subscribe to. Needless to say bnr2 had
a hissy-fit. I have run into this time and again with X-news. X-news
allows  me to limit the amount of headers at one given time. But it
has the flexibility to d/l either from the first of the cutoff date of
the server or anything in between. It appears that bnr2 starts from
the lasted date then loads the oldest headers that meet my cutoff
headers criteria number. I have read th online manual several times.
Here are my thoughts on the matter. Can you give me some feedback that
will assure me that I am on the right path? If I have gone astray then
some hints that point me in the right direction will be appreciated.
I go to Servers Properties Advance Page and I set up "Download at Most 
n headers" at a Bnr2 comfortable number. I then go to Groups Page
Refresh Button and choose "Get New and Missing Headers Button". Will
it then d/l the next set of older messages? TIA
