I have definetely lost articles and headers. When downloading marked
articles, the article names are shown in the "NewsFetcher" window. If I
open the newsgroup after a crash those downloaded articles and their
headers have disappeared. Usually, the remaining marked headers remain
intact.

Could this problem be caused by either big database files (approx. 35 Mb)
or large numbers of headers (approx. 4500) in newsgroups? 

PS. When are you going to release version 1.1 & will it contain a new
manual or just an addition?
