I cant get Pan to open any group over about 60,000 and I have to remove
the score file if I use any group with over 10,000.

Have you thought about working your way up with the 'more downloads
options' on the group right click, its a pain but the only way I can do it,
as in 10,000 at a time.

Its a shame, as I like Pan but as I get better servers and a faster
connection the more I think about looking elsewhere.
