Even when hitting the 15,000 limit or whatever it is.
Only one thing terminal just had Waiting for connections maybe it wasn't working?
Anyway searches were very fast.

Kind Offtopic: But does anyone know any alternatives to newsleechers supersearch for linux?

Pay for it and use Alt.binz

The feature 'Compress header' should be available a long time ago.
GigaNews and Newshosting implement this through GigaNews Accelerator and Stunnel respectively and support for ALL newsreader programs.

Compress header is useful when it boosts downloading header 2 to 10 times, or even more, very useful when you want to see what articles in a newsgroup.

afaik you dont need giganews accelarator for most newsreaders. they have native support of compressed headers.Well, it applies at least to NB pro, NL, UE.
