Hi

Just downloaded and installed PGOffline V2,5.049. My intention is to create a backup for an existing Yahoo Group which contains over 16,000 postings. I felt it was time to prune it down but need to keep a backup of the messages. Installation OK and set up seemed OK however the speed of download is pathetic. It took around 30 mins to download 10 messages when I gave up and tried again. Same result.

Installed it on another machine with exactly the same result. The speed of download seems to vary between 0 and 5Kb/s when checked using DU Meter.

Does anybody have any suggestions please.

Regards

Alan

Hi

I think the problem was with Yahoo itself as it now downloads at a reasonable pace but I have hit the download limit. I have now registered and paid for this program after Wilson's very swift direct response.

Hi Alan,

Just to clarify for other reading this, if Yahoo is working as it should and you have a cable modem you will get about 600 messages a minute. I have seen speeds up to 2400 messages a minute but that was on a very fast connection.

Cheers,

Wilson.
