What you might want to do is use the 2 versions in tandem for a period of time. I actually find the new Pan faster and better at large groups than before. But loading all headers at once can cause some problems. (Although I have 2GB of RAM, so Pan can handle a lot more headers than it used to be able to.) Grab, say, the last weeks worth of headers - then from that point on just get new headers and delete unwanted ones until you eventually are just grabbing new headers every day or 3. I basically have kept the old version around to make sure that I'm not missing any articles while I populate the new version. alt.binaries.multimedia is a HUGE group, and Pan is now loading new headers like a champ. jef _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
