My problem was . . . I was getting some sort of error message from the
gate,  but  didn't  realize it [it didn't bring focus to itself] so TB
just  hung.  I don't recall the error message, but it must have been a
net  fluke,  because after acknowledging the error and trying again to
check my mail, it was working flawlessly.  All is well.  Thanks.

Because  it  DID download all.  First time I checked my mail, I pulled

Nothing  to  apologize  for, unless it was you who told it to download
all  that excess.  I think it did that on account of my own stupidity,
though  --  I'd  not  edit  the  account  options to leave mail on the
server.   I've  now done that, and tested it on a few other groups and
all is working correctly.  This is quite a nice usenet solution.

I've  installed  MyGate today. And it's receiving and sending mails to
news groups, but the thing that happend to you also happened to me.
I had the "leave mail on server" on.

It would not be so bad if it happens just ones. But I've a group where
he  did  download  10.000  messages  again and again. When I used kill
doubles he told me that he found around 20.000.

What am I doing wrong?
I download them to the inbox and then filter them to a folder.
The filtering is now set to manual since the bat stays connected until
all   messages   are  filtered  (althoug  all  messages  are  already
downloaded).

And I can say, after 40.000 messages, it takes a while :-).

Yes, the first time, I checked what it downloaded with OE, and it was

I have: no new thread, nor _everything_ like you.

That's what I did, and it now seems to work fine. In fact, I even
found the reason of this "bug": I had not subscribed to the right
group. Shame on me...

Thanks for your help. That's how I discovered my problem.

Hi Anne,

You wrote:

Another suggestion - I initially put 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost in
TB. It wouldn't work until I changed it to localhost.  Is yours set to
localhost?

When using any address that won't resolve netetiquette dictates that
you utilize an address that can't resolve (and will not attempt to
resolve) such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] . This takes a great load off root
servers as, by standard, .invalid is recognized as a non-routable and
invalid naming convention.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]   > Could resolve and will query root DNS servers.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ---> Invalid naming convention. No resolve query.

Notice anything above?

Try it yourself.
