I browse headers using pan and d/l some binaries to sample here as well. If you're heading for the bigger groups (dvd, lossless-sounds etc.) pan gobbles up lots of memory and I would recommend 1Gb Ram at least to avoid swapping when sorting the headers. The reason I don't use pan to download all binaries is because I haven't figured out how to make it assemble incomplete files and it will assemble files that have corrupt segments (which I don't want). Hence I use brag to download, which gives me greater control over the decoding part and furthermore lets me run things in the background. For posting I use ypost. Regards.
