Limiting Newsgroup Header Downloads with Newsbin Pro

1. Click the "Options" button at the top of the NewsBin window.

Clicking Options

2. Adjusting the "Max Post Age:" will limit displayed headers based on their age, saving you from browsing 200 days worth of articles in one sitting. The "First Time Records:" setting is a strict limit on the maximum number of headers NewsBin will download the first time a newsgroup is accessed. Keep in mind that many binary newsgroups may contain millions of headers that can take significant amounts of time and system resources to load. To most efficiently browse newsgroups and best take advantage of Giganews' retention, set the "Max Post Age:" to the highest article age you'd like to see (as high as 200 days), and limit "First Time Records:" to 100,000 to 500,000 records. Click "OK" when finished.

I wanted to add my 2 cents in as well. Giganews has been a fantastic value for the money to me for the past couple of years I've been using it! Thanks for the great services guys (and gals)!
