It might be a cache full problem, but it isn't flush cache, unless something 
else is also involved, since I can save as articles here (on Mdk 9.0 urpmi-ed 
to cooker, latest as of Thursday, KDE 3.1rc2 and all), and I've never had 
flush cache checked.  (I was, however, the one that got max cache size 
changed from 1 G to 20 G, as I may d/l over a gig in a single session, and 
was loosing articles b4 I could read them!  In case you are wondering, I have 
a cable modem, and regularly d/l at 1.5Mbps--I could do 3Mbps w/ a config 
change, putting some groups on a different server, but don't have THAT much 
to d/l from the groups, so haven't bothered with that.)
