    To avoid it (partly) try to lower "nntp batch xx" value. The server
program used by Demon (NewsBorg?) gives as many times the ID of a message
in reply to a NEWNEWS command as there are groups you want with the
message crossposted in them. Other programs (INN all versions) give it
only once. NOS looks in HISTORY if the ID is there before asking the
article for the second time, but if (with many batch buffers) it's time to
request this ID before the first request (for the same ID) succeeded,
you'll have the article twice (or more!), as the IDs for received article
are stored in HISTORY only after they are received...

    I reduced batch buffers from 48 to 24, still have one or two
duplicates from time to time, but eliminate them before unbatching.


Bye!    Bruno.
