But will it download from multiple newsfeeds *simultaneously*, and
combine the feeds if you subscribe to the same group from more than
one source? That's Agent's big selling point. I tried using
Thunderbird for news, and the problem was that it did each server
sequentially. When you're on a metered internet connection, with only
a five-hour unmetered window in each 24, then making maximum use of
the unmetered window is important.
