The last one will be used, in this case -k1024.

Souper/Vsoup will remain in read-only mode. Note, that there is no
way (at least valid for VSoup) to invert the read-only to a read-write
state.

Also for VSoup: the last URL will be taken, e.g. if you will specify
something like 'vsoup -m nntp://news1 nntp://news.x.y.z' news.x.y.z
will be used as the news server.
