    Downloading binary files from Usenet (NNTP)

    Hi, I found a newsreader on pscode.com that was originally made for downloading text messages from Usenet, but I'm trying to change it to download binary files. I use a message-id to download a segment, but the problem is that only a very small part is downloaded. I hope somebody can help me with this.

    For example a RAR file of 15 MB is split in 20 segments (about 775 KB each). All 20 segments need to be downloaded and together they are the 15 MB RAR file. All segments have their own message-id, which identifies them on the newsserver.

    The problem is that when I try to download a 775 KB segment, it only downloads 5 KB and I can't figure out why.

    Is there anybody here who knows how to work with NNTP and wants to take a look at the code?

    Thank you.
