I have found the same problem with the news service although, until I saw
Mike's article, I thought it must have been a problem with my software.

I am using Microsoft's News reader (version 4.70.1161, comes with MSIE
3.02).  It's worked fine in the past and I haven't made any changes to
settings but now it won't download all of every newsgroup I select.  If I
manually select articles for download, no problem.  If I select certain
news groups to download (using the offline menu), it only downloads some
articles.  I requested a few groups to download  (all messages from the
last 7 days only).  From this NG (demon.ip.support) I got everything I
expected.  But from microsoft.public.vc.mfc my news reader just wouldn't
load in all of the articles: it seemed to discriminate by date so messages
from the last 2 or 3 days didn't come, but older messages did.  All headers
seemed to be there, though.

My clock and date are set using the demon time server.

Time of download was Sunday 09:35 ish.  Dial-up number was 3535666.
