No, I'm online, but catch up just made all but the most recent headers
disappear.

The only way I've been able to do it is by going into properties and
resetting the the NG, and then going back in and then it re-downloads all
the headers, but some of these groups have upwards of 100,000 headers which
takes a little while to download.

It just seemed to me that if you can mark them for downoad as a unit, you
should be able to unmark them that way too. Oh well....thanks for all your
help.
