   BeInformed works for me.  When it does crash (and it does) I just restart it   
   and it continues from where it left off.  So I don't care so much about the   
   crashes.   
      
   I also use PineApple with a diffirent Newsserver to keep my groups sort.  I   
   seem to remember that to solve a problem like your that I edited the .ini   
   file.  Check /boot/home/config/settings/PineappleNews.ini the download limits   
   are set in the first few lines, bet that is all you need to change.
