[DPA]

It stopped responding at ~96% of downloading headers for the group 
alt.binaries.dvd.  This was suggested to me as a good test for a large 
group.  How much memory does yours use up when you are downloading the 
headers for a large group like that?  Of course I use Newscene who has a 
pretty high retention so that might be why it had so many headers.
