What is header compression? Does APN support it?

Header downloads for large newsgroups can be time consuming and expensive. Many service providers, including APN, now offer header downloads in a compressed format, resulting in downloads up to ten time faster than with the older non-compressed format. APN offers header downloads in both compressed and non-compressed formats. Agent 6.0 supports both formats. Compression is enabled by default, but if you do want to disable the function, select Tools | servers and accounts | news server | your server, then press the advanced button, and uncheck the option ‘request compressed headers’.
