Well I tried VSoup and have a problem retrieving news (mail works
fine).

After initially retrieving several old messages from a couple of
newsgroups it stopped retrieving messages, even after I changed the
article numbers in %home%\newsrc. Tried souper again and souper picked
them up again.

The command line I use is:
d:\util2\vsoup\vsoup -m -l 900 -a -i -N D:\yarn2\home\newsrc
nntp://holcombj:mypassword@news.mindspring.com

Any ideas?
