Please excuse these off-topic bits but since knowledgeable usenet veterans lurk here I figured it worth a shot. I've tried bin search dot com a number of times and usually come up shortwith some of the heavily populated groups, many millions of headers in somecases! My usenet provider is Giganews and to my knowledge doesn't offer server side indexing. I am wondering what other folks here are doing to locate content quickly without expending days to pull down those headers, only to choke on them at the client?
We have FiOS 25/15 so it takes no time at all to download a huge bunch of headers. It is necessary to limit the total number at one time so as not to choke Pan.
Then it is just a matter of skimming quickly through the headers. --Travis in Shoreline Washington
