Very strange, when I try to download headers in this group, PAN crashes.
I would guess that this group is being used (like many others) to
distribute encrypted files of copyrighted material.
Running latest PAN on Linux Mint.

My ISP lists that newsgroup but when I try to use it no contents are
available. Have you downloaded an yenc decoder yet? I downloaded a
windows one called yEnc32. I haven't found a newsgroup that had any
yenc files in it, at least using Pan newsreader. I kinda recall from
years ago I would download all the messages associated with a picture
file into a folder and then point my yenc decoder to the contents of
that folder.
If the contents of all the associated messages are not too big, can
you download them and then post them in a file-sharing website
somewhere that I can try to work with?
