[Pan-users] Pan cannot handle large numbers of headers?

[Phillip Pi]

Hello,

Is it me or does Pan v0.14.2.91 fail to handle large numbers of headers from a 
newsgroup? I 
tried to download about 3,044,000 headers from alt.binaries.hdtv newsgroup. My 
computer choked 
at about 1,900,000 headers when I came back from a 30 minutes break. HDD light 
was spinning, m 
KDE v3.3.4 was frozen and not responsive. I had to kill Pan via SSH. Of course 
that was slow as 
heck too. I eventually to kill X server because stuff was broken.

I am using an Athlon XP 2200+ with 1 GB of RAM. Isn't that enough or is Pan not 
optimized for 
this big number of headers?

Thank you in advance. :)
