Re: Re: Busy hard drive when finishing a file

My advice is to just get a new newsreader. BNR is really more trouble than
it's worth at this point. There are a few nice free ones out there. I'd
suggest Grabit or Alt.binz for freeware, and Newsbin or Newsleecher if you
don't mind buying one. Personally, I use Newsbin because of the small memory
footprint, the support for multi-core processors, and the astraweb header
compression.
