Since the forum was shut down (months ago), it appears that the client
is no longer supported and problems have crept in...

Can you suggest an alternative to Grabit?

Thanks

I do not understand...???....the latest version of grabit is 1.7.2...and
has been available since the beginning of last year....there is no new
grabit that any errors can have crept into...
and it is still supported as far as I can tell...

The forum system is not functioning, and there is no direct support from
shemes. My specific installation has repeatedly "forgotten" passwords,
and an "incremental" load of a newsgroup can take 15 minutes.
With no help, it's pretty useless. I can't even find a way to terminate
my monthly "search" subscription!

Ahhh...I now understand...you are using his newsgroup and that is the
problem....not with grabit itself....I use it all the time...but not on
his newsgroup and it has worked...and is working fine....

Perhaps you did not know you can use grabit on any newsgroup that has
binaries....

Do not know how you can cancel his newsgroup...

hope helps...have fun....sno
