tell me you are just trolling. your question has already

I'm not trolling. I know I have a complicated (in the worst
possible sense of the word) personality. I keep on asking the
question because I have not seen an answer that makes sense (or
hardly ANY answers, just the usual abuse, FTM).

From the original post:
"due to the large amount of headers that I need to
download (which sometimes number over 10 million), it
becomes fairly often to run into the dreaded "out of
memory" problem. Make no mistake, my system is decidedely
high-end, with AMD dual core 2.6ghz and 2 GB OCZ
dual-channel ram, and the total amount of virtual memory
is set to the max 4GB."

Again:

"...THAT I NEED TO DOWNLOAD (WHICH SOMETIMES NUMBER OVER
10 MILLION)..."
(caps mine)

And again... (sigh):
(...)WHAT THE *** does ANYONE DO with ten million
headers, let alone WHY WOULD ANYONE STORE THEM?

(sigh) again: he didn't say he wanted to store them (sop
you can just drop that strawman), just that he wanted to
download them. If there are 10 million headers that he
hasn't seen in the group (perhaps because it is a high
traffic group that he hasn't visited in a couple weeks for
example) , to know which ones are of interest to him, he
needs to download all of them and discard the ones he
doesn't care about. what he doesn't need to do (and perhaps
he wasn't aware of this, which is why he asked the question
he did) was download them all in one go.

I am not a complete idiot, I know why people DL headers/ BION I
do it myself. But I do it in chunks of 10 or 20K max.
Does anyone here, in spite of living in the digital realm, even
realize what TEN MILLION of anything actually IS?????

To c64fan:
And you (heh heh) sound exactly like a kind yet "not
personally experienced" police officer or psychologist
trying to explain to someone that his body has NOT REALLY
turned a shimmery purple- green with little pearly-red
"thingies" popping out all over.

I take it you are just trolling, as I offered you nothing
worth of being insulting. No wonder you won that strawpoll.

I really didn't mean that to be insulting. Just that an image of
a reasonable and intelligent person (you) talking to a crazed
crack-addict type about his temporary insanity - 10,000,000
headers OR having green dripping fingers - which happens to be
my perception of the OP (based on his desire to DL said
10,000,000 headers at once) is kind of funny.

I apologize, I really did not mean to offend you.
