Hi Conrad, and welcome to the pan mailing list. (Forgive my senility if you've posted here before :) I'll answer your question with two questions :p I've read many threads, in this group and elsewhere, about the utility of multiple connections to a server. I've never been satisfied with any of the explanations I've seen so far -- but I've never used a server that allowed more than four connection, so what do I know? What is the speed of your internet connection to giganews, and do they limit the bandwidth of any single connection to their servers? Second, when you download multiple posts/headers from multiple groups, etc, how many individual download icons do you see in the status bar at the bottom of the pan window? _______________________________________________ Pan-devel mailing list Pan-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-devel
