Hit ^ in the *Group* buffed to get to the *Server* buffer. Each agentized server has a (agent) indicator in its line. You can enable/disable the agent for a server with `J a'/`J r'. > I had some .overview files that was bigger than 10M and they slowed > down Gnus severely. Not using the agent for non-local servers will probably slow down Gnus much more, because then it'll download an article from the server each time it's requested. With the agent it's downloaded only once, and then it's cached. Bye, Tassilo
