Thank you for your reply. I believe you're right that the server was the problem. It was very unusual. My NSP supports XPAT searches. Tests of XPAT searches for articles known to exist (UE downloaded them using "Download bodies" command) have mostly failed. XPAT found 2 articles in 2 small...

Thank you for your reply. Now I understand what you were suggesting. However, I'm not sure it would help in the particular circumstance that I had encountered.

Using Usenet Explorer v.1.9.9 (registered). My standard procedure to download new headers is to double-click the newsgroup ("NG") name in the *Workspace* to open it, then right-click "Get new headers" in the context menu. In the *Task manager*, the NG then appears, a connection i...
