Header downloads for large newsgroups can be time consuming and expensive. Many service providers, including Forte’s APN, now offer header downloads in a compressed format, resulting in downloads up to ten time faster than with the older non-compressed format. Agent 6.0 supports compressed header downloads. By default this option is enabled. If for some reason you don’t want this, open your news server panel, Click the “Advanced” button and uncheck the “…header compression” box.
