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?
