Some newsreaders assemble the articles from a cache.  Is BNR2 caching
articles?  It seems to have already decoded and assembled as far as
possible all of the segments by the time the last one is downloaded.
The bigger the file, the more disk writing there is at the end, and
CPU utilization shoots up too.    I know it's by design, just wonder
why.  Always happens, even if all of the segments are downloaded in
numerical order.  All boxes are unchecked in Options -> File Checking.
I don't have anything checking for viruses.  Another Windows
newsreader I have which decodes and appends on the fly doesn't have
that busy disk writing at the end when the last article arrives,
not even for the big 400 MB RARs I've been downloading lately.
