[Pan-users] reading headers efficiently due to bandwidth limitation

[mansh9 mansh9]

Hi Fellow PAN users,

A Newbie looking for some help:

. My ISP has limited the NNTP bandwidth so I do not have the luxury to 
download large number of headers quickly anymore (some of my preferred 
groups has more than a million headers), is there a way to pre screen files 
to download, i.e. only download certain headers which match selection 
criteria?

. Is there a way to control how many header PAN download each time, I figure 
if I can limit download to a reasonable 300K each, then for a 1.2 Milion 
header newsgroup, I would do it 4 times. Reason behind this is when I try 
download too many headers, after 8-10 hours, PAN just close and after I 
re-start, it will download for a few hours, then close again, may be I need 
to set a switch somewhere.

. Can I batch PAN to download files automatically if it meets a certain 
selection criteria? i.e. command line or through a script file?

Thanks in advance
