Hi, I'm using 5.6.25 and it appears that the problem either isn't fixed or that there is another related problem. For some reason Agent downloads articles and headers for groups that aren't covered by it. It hangs while doing this and when I check the agent directory the groups exist but are empty except for the .overview and .agentview files. I don't think that Agent would actually store the articles if it didn't hang, but I can't be sure. -- Eze Ogwuma
