#2 Don't "scan" as many headers as I'd wish

[Eduardo Silva]

I'm using Forte Agent, and in a certain newsgroup it gets
a lot more headers than power-grab does, and working
ones. In both programs I'm using the same server, of
course. In power-grab it has from 24 to 28 of May, and in
forte agent it has from 21 of May to 1 of June, which
says that it's having some problems getting the newer
ones too. Funnyly, this causes that power-grab can see
a full CD of soldier of fortune 2, but not CD2 :( and i
didn't want to use agent, because it creates huge temp
files.
Anyway, I've repeated this in the forum, since they were
empty, I think it's no trouble.

Bye then, and your program is looking great, I'm already
using it as my main one, except for this case.

P.S.-what's your motivation for making it, and puting it
on the net free? just curious to hear from a developer,
instead of a reporter from C|net.

I'll look into the problem you're describing, but I don't see how
it could really be happening. Unless I am seriously missing
something! I'll cross-check with what FreeAgent gets.

Motivation? Well, I actually wrote Power-Post as a free utility
in the spirit of usenet. Then I wrote Suck-Best as a stable
binary downloader because everything else I tried either didn't
auto-retry (FreeAgent/Agent) or was a memory/resource
PIG. Suck-Best was a prototype and I finally decided to re-
write the whole thing with what I had learned - and so Power-
Grab was born.

Again, I've made it free - in the original spirit of usenet. I did
have thoughts of making money by making it shareware, but I
wasn't really sure if I could make it feature-rich enough and
guarantee the time needed to support of product I charged
for. Now, after I add the program and source code to
SourceForge, I hope it may grow into something larger than I
could do myself (time or creativity wise.)

So that's basically it in a nutshell.. I originally wrote it for
myself and figured other people would like to use it too.
Perhaps I will market, as shareware, some other programs I
have written, but anything that relates to usenet will be free.

Cheers!
