It may well also be midi stuff; the news one came from alt.sources so probably isn't indexed anywhere. It's a newsrc driven version of slurp, written in perl. Slurp uses message-id lookups at the server end, which taxes the server due to the high volume of dbz lookups. I got one copy directly from alt.sources and the other came from some ftp site (but I don't know which.) They differ subtly and I haven't actually tried either since I'm transitioning over to a 'normal' newsfeed and can leave slurp going for a while more. -- Pete
