i cant seem to download headers from large groups , smaller binaries
are fine but the large groups get so far and then freeze up. any help
really appreciated. im using xnews as a client and winxp pro


Enter the group using CTL+Enter and move the sliders to select less
headers or buy more ram or switch to a different client.
