But will it download from multiple newsfeeds *simultaneously*, and combine the feeds if you subscribe to the same group from more than one source? That's Agent's big selling point. I tried using Thunderbird for news, and the problem was that it did each server sequentially. When you're on a metered internet connection, with only a five-hour unmetered window in each 24, then making maximum use of the unmetered window is important. Brian.
