I haven't gotten around to upgrading from trn-4.0-test72 to a newer version, but unfortunately trn doesn't contain a Changelog listing changes between the test7* versions where I can see if upgrading would fix my problem: On infrequent/erratic occasions I've apparently had newsservers acting a bit weird, resulting in things like the following in my newsrc(s): alt.binaries.pictures.anime: 1-1075286495 alt.binaries.sounds.anime: 1-1075286495 After that, the only solution is to remove everything after the ":" and mark all previously read articles as read all over again... :( I've had had those problems before with news.onlynews.com , but recently it also happened with enews.newsguy.com 2 or 3 times. :( It's a real PITA to have to 'reset' the read articles like this when using pay-newsservers with their long retention times. :( IIRC, I once telnet-ed to the nntp port of one of the newsservers and found that it indeed reported article numbers bigger than 1 billion in its 'group <newsgroup>' info before returning to working correctly, with its previous article numbering, a day later.
