Yes Iain, that is what we have called the RunawayDownloadBug and the problem has been addressed - i.e. Glenn has a fix for it. ;-) > sometimes if a menu box (I think thats what its called) is maybe > too large then it will display but you can't select anything from > it.

I'll see if I can find this "Google Group" thing. BRB. Sorry, I can't seem to find what you are talking about. I went to Groups and I couldn't find anything that said "All groups". Do you mean "Browse complete list of groups" ? I tried that and it worked fine with A1.66.

That's interesting. I use 1.66 mostly so that might be why I only see the problem when my TEMP dir is full. I shall have to compare 1.66 and 1.7x. Perhaps it would be good to supply a URL here, also. - Clarence Verge. -- Using Arachne 1.66 on DSL.
