I mean normally I d/load about 500 messagesd a day! (far too much I know
but I browse a lot of different group!!) However somedays (it happened
again this morning) this goes up to about 2,0000 messages. Why this is so
I do not know. Plus I know that a lot of these are duplicates, because
when I expire them, it expires more messages than it scans!!

I use:-

chanx -mx  -n5 news.demon.co.uk

It's never given me problems in about a year's worth of use, but
this is making me wonder a touch!

I used to do this, but found if the line was dropped, and In-joy
redialled, when it restarted the rnews batch file, it lost all the
original news!!!
