RE: [leafnode-list] Limiting bandwidth

[Ed <mbhsys@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Matthias,

The difference is that with a newsreader you generally only download the
body of messages you WANT to see.  With LF you download every message.  

This may be ok for text groups but is a real problem with binary groups.  Or
am I missing something?

Thanks,  Ed

It doesn't.

Not that I know of, but I wonder if that makes a difference to a newsreader,
which isn't that different from fetchnews; a newsreader doesn't have
bandwidth limiting either.
