I tried agent categories a week ago, and this is when things started working as I described above. There's an unrelated minor bug in the customization buffer code of agent-categories in Emacs' CVS HEAD, but manually editing the predicate with 'p' in the category buffer was the fix of downloading everything for me :-) Many thanks, Giorgos
