Doesn't the agent already have a feature where it does things with articles that aren't on the server anymore? Maybe it deletes NOV lines for those articles? It could also remove the downloadable mark for them. While it is possible to download read articles, and users *might* wish to do that, we can be pretty sure that articles that aren't on the server any more are really not downloadable anymore ;-) Kai
