I was using BNR2 for the longest time, but got so tired of it locking up
and other problems it had, that I dumped it and tried Grabit. I've never
looked back (until now 80)>)

Have you decided on a preference yet? BNR2 or Grabit?

I use Grabit and it works perfectly. What I meant by "never looked back
until now" was that I have brushed the problematic BNR2 out of my stream
of consciousness until Arjan posted the link to the new version of it. I
see no reason to "hold the football Charlie Brown" with any version of
BNR2 or 3, since in the past my observation was that each succeeding
version was worse than the previous one, despite claims that problems
had been fixed.

Grabit, on the other hand, just works. Period.

I've been using BNR3 for quite some time without problems. Only bug
I've encountered is that it will lock up if I try to download new
headers while there's some articles in the queue with a negative
priority.

Oh yeah . . . periodically the cache must be scraped clean - they've
added a "reset" function to make it easy.
