I've been a *longtime* user of UBH, and love it to death. It's 
probably one of the best and most capable programs for Usenet binary 
downloads I've ever used, and that's saying something. :)

Anyway, I thought I'd dabble in the new 3.x version, since it looked 
interesting. Unfortunately the documentation is a little sparse. I 
have the MySQL server going, I have all the dependencies (or so it 
seems) but I was wondering if someone could send me a quick little 
step-by-step quick-start?

Here's what I've done--tell me what I'm missing.

1. Built a .ubhrc with the variables: NNTPSERVER, NEWSRCNAME, DATADIR, 
MULTI_EXT, SINGLE_EXT

2. Built a .newsrc with a single newsgroup followed by a single colon 
and a newline.

2.5 Built the SQL tables/etc with the sql from the install directory. 
Modified them to match the appropriate newsserver, newsgroup, etc 
information, stripped out the default values.

3. Ran "./ubhcatalog" to retrieve the list of headers and it appears 
to have pushed them into the MySQL database.

4. Ran ./ubhmark to try to mark them all as UNREAD.

5. Ran ./ubh -A -G news.group.blah

... but when it gets to the part where it says it's about to deal with 
the single and multi-parts, it just immediately prints out a little 
status line, "0 bytes" etc etc and exits without actually having 
downloaded anything from the news server.

What am I missing again?

Thanks for your time.
