Hello James!
These so called "rar archives" are all windows executables with one ore
more virus inside. To stop pan from downloading them, do the following.
I try to translate, because I'm using pan in german language. So, let's try.
Klick on the Button, which says "file" on it. Then klick on - I think -
"taskmanager". At least, in german it says "Aufgabenplaner", so you
should see something like this. A new window opens up and there you are.
Make pan work in offline-mode and mark all files. Then press the button
"Delete" and your done.
Alternatively you can delete file "task.nzb" in your ".pan2" directory,
located in your /home folder.
Hope it helps and my english is not too bad to understand.

I selected a group of "possibly" RAR exe archives in a usenet group. ARK says
they are ALL Window$/DO$ executable archives. Ubuntu says they are archives but can't
open a single one of them (Ubuntu 11.04 64 Bit for the record)all I want to do is stop
the download. I've actally uninstalled PAN and rebooted the system and reinstalled. When
I restart PAN it resumes downloading. The only thing I can do so far is go into the File
Menu and tell to work off-line which makes the program useless. If I tell it to go back
on line it resumes downloading. Telling it to Cancel Last Task is a complete waste of
time.
Basically all I need to know is how do I stop downloading short of permanently
deleting PAN?
It's the only USENET program I've seen that actually works for me.
All/All help would be much appreciated.
Thank You
