But would like to discover the perfect fit for me. Let's take news.gmane.org/gmane.test for example. I am able to create the select method, so that ^ takes me to browse groups. And I can use `u' to subscribe to a group. I get mixed up navigating concepts related to servers, groups, categories and agents. Two results I would like: 1. Shorter time to wait to see the browse groups (upon typing ^). 2. Shorter time when selecting a group and waiting for (all) summaries. The first one is not too bad, because I shouldn't want to browse the list of groups to often. The second one, it seems I would need to download this somehow. I have seen it suggested (in the documentation) that I shouldn't try this unless my connection is really slow and my disk space is huge. But can I still at least save all headers, or whatever it is I'm waiting for to load all 80,000 summaries (in "gmane.emacs.orgmode")? I am pretty intimidated about diving into the mechanics of groups, categories, agents. Especially I would not be sure that I would not try to download too much, such as articles (vs headers), and certainly not my imap mail, I would assume I don't want/need this. Your guidance in my journey is appreciated. Brady all typos, errors bad writing styles, ramblings, and conceptual misunderstandings above are my own. someone else made GNUS. ;)
