Hi,

I installed mynewsgroups on Win2k. It works so far, but I have problems to fill all 200 groups.

I'm running a local newsserver with the groups of my interest. I used a load testing tool to add all the groups (takes 15 minutes, no problem). But now the problem is, that my local newsserver stores articles since sometime in 2002 and there are up to 5000 articles in the groups.

I added all groups with "get all articles"

But there are only up to 2000 articles in each group, and mynewsgroups starts with the oldest articles. Is there the possibility to change that logic?
Even Outlook Express gets the x newest and next time gets the newest and the rest older ones.

That would be much nicer: I could start with the new articles and time by time the database gets filled up with the older ones which is very nice for statistics and doing research on topics.

For example: get 10 articles each time
there are 5 new so mynewsgroups gets the 5 new ones and 5 old ones it does not have yet.
