As far as DNews is concerned all newsgroups are the same. If you don't want the downloading messages in those groups then set the newsgroups cached and modify your nntp_feeder line to not suck them. > > I have also tried to edit my /etc/dnews.conf and using either of the following lines >but to no avail. > > nntp_feeder my.newsfeed.com *,!abc.* Use the above format for your nntp_feeder setting in dnews.conf. Then set those newsgroups cached permanently... tellnews cached "abc.*" 20000 Wait for a day or restart DNews and the "group download in progress" messages will go away. > nntp_feeder my.newsfeed.com > > Have I misconfigured something somewhere or is this a bug? > Also, the date is in October 2000 when now is already December 2000? It's not a bug. The date on those messages is purposely set in the past so that they won't leak out to other systems. Let us know if you have any questions.
