I've used Unison for years and agree with your observation on how it handles the binary groups, none of the others come close. The thing with the freezes and crashes with "the bigger groups", look in the directory where the databases are, which is usually something like: /Users/you/Library/Application Support/com.panic.Unison2/name-of-the-server and see if any of them are around 1GB or more. I don't know what internal database engine Unison uses but it seems like after those files get past 1GB (maybe even lower, like 750mb) it really slows down loading that group and sometimes even fails to load the group at all. Just delete the large ones. Next time you enter the group it'll just reload the headers depending on the Preference settings, which I actually have configured for 2,000,000 headers. On large groups like alt.binaries.multimedia, usually the purge happens once every 7-10 days but it really speeds up the load time to enter the group. For what it's worth, I'm on Yosemite using 2.1.10 and it works fine besides the large database files problem, but that has been there for years. I haven't "upgraded" to the last release only because this one runs fine. If you are talking about groups like alt.binaries.mom or boneless, I doubt there are many newreaders that can open and keep the headers up-to-date, those have billions of headers and even loading in 10,000,000 headers is barely a days worth. It's better on those to use like binsearch.info or a program called SpotLite (docs/download at): https://www.binaries4all.com/spotlite/installation.php which is bit of a bear because it's written in norwegian or something but doesn't take much mucking around to figure it out. Both binsearch and SpotLite end up giving you an nzb file, which if associated with Unison will grab the download just by double clicking on it. -bruce bje@ripco.com
