[Pan-users] Can't PAN downloading a huge group of large Unuseable Windows EXE archives

[jimmckenzie]

I selected a group of "possibly" RAR exe archives in a usenet group. ARK says 
they are ALL Window$/DO$ executable archives. Ubuntu says they are archives but 
can't open a single one of them (Ubuntu 11.04 64 Bit for the record)all I want 
to do is stop the download. I've actally uninstalled PAN and rebooted the 
system and reinstalled. When I restart PAN it resumes downloading. The only 
thing I can do so far is go into the File Menu and tell to work off-line which 
makes the program useless. If I tell it to go back on line it resumes 
downloading. Telling it to Cancel Last Task is a complete waste of time.

Basically all I need to know is how do I stop downloading short of permanently 
deleting PAN?

It's the only USENET program I've seen that actually works for me.

All/All help would be much appreciated.


Thank You
