1) If a download is interrupted halfway through by connection being dropped,
no areas file is created.
2) If the *server* dies, but the connection is kept (e.g. the thing hangs
like my server is wont to do), then an areas file is made, the downloaded
news and mail is imported. BUT,
*** all newsgroups not downloaded are *UNSUBSCRIBED*
Needless to say, this is something of an annoyance... Any ideas around this?
(aside from getting a better server) I suppose I should whip out an
auto-grep command in my batch file to change all !'s to :'s.
