Good Morning, A puzzling problem has begun to occur in my Agent newsreader. Up until the last two weeks Agent has worked great for me, now using version 1.6. In the past I could click on download all messages in a newsgroup and even if the number was 100,000+ it would download all the headers. Now, it locks during the download of headers if the amount is over a couple thousand, 5,000 new headers will definitely lock it up. I have never seen this problem before and your advice would be appreciated. The issue is not system resources, here is the configuration of the computer: PII-450 ASUS P2B motherboard 192mg SDRam (3) HD 9gig Seagate SCSI cheetah / 2- 8gig WD UDMA Drives Adaptec 2940UW SCSI card USR 56k ISA voice modem ATI Rage 128 32mg video 3Com 10/100TX NIC SB 128 PCI sound card Windows98SE The C drive has 6gigs of free space for Temporary files, and the recycle bin is set to reserve 10%.
