- Unless you are primarily referring to binary newsgroups, I find it hard
- to understand how you can make a qualified decission on which articles
- to bring home without spending more time than if you just download the
- lot of them. And if you deleted them immediately after browsing through
- them, they would hardly take up gigabytes of disk-space.
-
- Furthermore, nothing prevents you from downloading the articles while
- performing other on-line activities.
-
- How long does typically it take you to scan those 40 newsgroups and
- download the selected articles?
