No but here's some more information. I enabled "nntp-record-commands" so that I could see exactly what was going on. I've seen many other reports of the same problem to you over the past few months so perhaps you could suggest these people do the same. I attempted to enter a group that I haven't read for a while. At the time I was plugged and I hadn't tried to download this group with agent either as I don't normally read it. The ~/News/agent/nntp/news.dircon.co.uk/agent.lib/active file contains the correct article range for the group, "7192 7147". The nntp server reports "211 41 7147 7192". .newsrc-localhost.eld contains the articles that have been read, that are cached or ticked. ((1 . 7094) (7096 . 70 99)) ((cache 6110 6113 (7083 . 7084) 7088) (tick (7083 . 7084) 7088)) Because of this these commands were called after the "group" command. >>From *nntp-log* 19980701T001727 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 7095-7095 19980701T001727 news.dircon.co.uk XOVERVIEW 7095-7095 19980701T001727 news.dircon.co.uk HEAD 7095 19980701T001727 news.dircon.co.uk HEAD 7100 19980701T001727 news.dircon.co.uk HEAD 7101 19980701T001727 news.dircon.co.uk HEAD 7102 19980701T001727 news.dircon.co.uk HEAD 7103 19980701T001727 news.dircon.co.uk HEAD 7104 All the way down to: 19980701T001728 news.dircon.co.uk HEAD 7192 Of course since there are no articles with any number before 7147 this is the result for most of the HEAD calls. >>From *server news.dircon.co.uk nntp *nntpd** 423 no such article number in this group 423 no such article number in this group 423 no such article number in this group 423 no such article number in this group 423 no such article number in this group 423 no such article number in this group The headers for 7147-7192 are then downloaded. Then the program freezes. Why was "XOVERVIEW 7095-7095" called? was it because the result of "XOVER 7095-7095" was "."? .newsrc-localhost-dribble is unchanged. -- Eze Ogwuma
