Downloading NG's

When I try to DL NG's from Bellsouth, it bombs after DL'ing X number of
NG's... nowhere near the total available. Anyone experiencing the same
problem?

Thnx,

Lang

Vista Beta 2 5384

Contact the company/organisation who provides the newsgroups, and check the
status of their systems.

People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did, but
people will never forget how you made them feel.

Hi Dilly:

Patches never worked for me, whether it's for smoking or anything else.
Miss seeing your stationeries though, particularly the musical ones. My
kids sisters in Boston used to love when I'd send them those from the
groups.

Betas are fun and frustrating at the same time. It's always nice to have an
insider peek at what's coming down the pike. Newsgroups just get in your
system after awhile and I feel withdrawn when I'm away from them for too
long.

Drop a line now and then. (email is valid on this post) Saw your pics about
vacationing in Cabo. One of my favorite places to unwind, but it gets to
looking more and more like San Diego each time I go. Too many golf courses
and "timeshare" condos, but that's progress I guess.

Best regards.

Jim

===========================================
Well, it's not really cheating, since the same process has been around for
quite some time. The problem is that downloading the lists of newsgroups is
extremely memory intensive and with more than 25,000 or so groups, the list
may never complete. All is not lost though, if you know the name of the
newsgroup you want to go to. It really is this simple:

Create a hyperlink to the newsgroup consisting of the following parts:
news://
followed by: name of news server/
followed by: name of newsgroup

i.e., the following would take you to this newsgroup from the Start/Run line
with OE or WinMail shut down:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microso...dows.vista.mail

Tom Koch has a writeup about creating a page of hyperlinks to favorite
groups on this page:
