I think I found another way around the problem. I recently tried pubnews.demon
to see if it was any quicker. It was but didn't seem to give me all the news I
wanted ( some groups were missing again ) so I changed back. yesterday I looked
at NNTP.DAT and found there was a line in there with pubnews address, followed
by all the groups I was trying to get news for. I deleted this line, leaving all
my news groups under the heading of news.demon and voila! All the news for all
the groups appeared! Bingo!!!

Thanks for the help anyway!
