Anyone else having a problem with this group?

External Since: Dec 27, 2003 Posts: 9

I use easynews as a news server and Agent as my newsreader, and every
time I download all my groups, it hangs and crashes on the Vonnegut
group. If I delete the group then I get no crash. Then I re-load the
group and "get new messages for all groups" and it crashes when it
gets to the Vonnegut group!
Any ideas?

I've used various versions of Forte Agent since 1996, on over a
dozen different news servers, and that's how long I've been on this
newsgroup. Never a problem. At the moment I'm using v1.92/32.572
(minus the X-Mailer header), not having any particular interest in
v1.93 and decidedly no interest in v2.X until they get much further
along with their plans and start adding nested folders and multiple
POP accounts.

Has this only been happening since you installed v1.93?

If not, my first recommendation would be to examine, with idiotic
care, each of the various Group|Properties settings which are
particular to this newsgroup. Particularly, of course, looking very
closely at anything where you've overridden the default properties.

My second would be to click on Online|RefreshGroupsList and ensure
the abk-v group is still carried by your mail server.
