I've tried some half a dozen postings, and only one downloaded okay. This one 
consists of only one part, the rest were multi-part...

Looks like a pan bug... I'm wondering if pan is still actively maintained.

Have you (or anyone on the list) any experience with alternative usenet 
clients? I've tried XPN, but I couldn't figure out how to induce it to download 
any files.

Thanks so far,
