Outlook Express, downloading newsgroup headers

[DRuM]

In my outlook express, if I'm on a newsgroup such as 'drumming' and it says for example, 5000 new messages not downloaded, I can only download 1000 at a time. In Tools/Options/Read/News, there's a tab which says:

'Get (> insert number here <) headers at a time'.

If I type a number higher than 1000 in the box, a new box then comes up and says: ' Please enter a number between 50 and 1000 for downloading headers '.

Is there a way around this so that I can download all the newsgroup messages for that newsgroup in one go or at least, a higher amount? Thanks.

Edit outlook.exe and make the limit different...

I don't have an outlook.exe. Maybe that's for outlook and not outlook express.

Hmm, I'll give it a whirl. If it's no good though juggly, I'll not be sending you any more of that tellytubbies candy you like. Oops, didn't mean to let that secret out.

google Xnews

imo, ur isp is restricting you to how many you can get..

just like my isp restricted me to 20-30kb/s, i quit using newsgroups..

Ah, I just found out that all I needed to do is uncheck the get headers box, and it then downloads every single header in a newsgroup automatically.
