Hi Graham

I have been struggling in recent times with my copy of Newswin and have 
recently upgraded to version 0.9b. It is better and will work with your 
existing newsfiles and mail.

As far as the downloading newsgroups is concerned it sounds like you 
could either have a damaged file at the point that your newsgroups stop 
being gathered or you may not be staying connected for long enough time.

I have seen a posting relating to this problem and it is on my own 
system and downloaded somewhere. I will look through ant try to find the 
info and will email it to you once I can find it ;-)

I think that the grop it was in was demon.ip-support.winsock

This is the newsgroup where this type of problem is heavily dealt with 
although you will be best to access it via your web browser if you can 
for the moment.

Cheers
:-)
