WideOpenWorst uses it

Post #137,648 by Yendor 1/25/04 10:16:03 AM Reply	WideOpenWorst uses it I don't know if it's because I use pan on Linux, or something up with GigaNews, but every now and then when I'm in the middle of downloading large files, my connection will die. Only way I've figured out how to get my connection back is to kill and restart pan. That aside, if you like to browse newsgroups, 1 GB a month goes rather quickly. I've been known to use it all in a day or two. -YendorMike [link\|http://www.hope-ride.org/\|http://www.hope-ride.org/]

In the past, I haven't found anything that does anywhere near as well as ProNews/2 on OS/2 and that's one of the few reasons I'm still on OS/2. Does Pan automagically find all parts of a binary if you only highlight one part? ProNews/2 is great in that regard. I don't have to find all the parts manually before I start the download. Just highlight any part of the binary and hit "D" for Decode and off it goes. Can any newsreader on Linux do that?

Sorts message bodies...will d/l binary with only one section selected..I like it alot... But I only get to use it once a month...cause I'm done with 1G in about 2 hours :-) If you push something hard enough, it will fall over. _{Fudd's First Law of Opposition} It goes in, it must come out._{Teslacle's Deviant to Fudd's Law} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]
