====================================================
Thanks for the 'inside' information.
Still the same here, tweaknews will download the headers but then when
I try to download a body the newsgroup that I just downloaded the
headers from (teevee)... doesn't exist !
Typical of VM ! Give me something that I didn't ask for in the first
place and then take away the reason that I even need it ! So now I
have a faster download speed but nothing to download.
Makes NO sense to me.
Will have to look at other options to access teevee files, I'm not
sure what the best options are.
