A couple months ago my news provider, NewsGuy, changed the way they

NewsGuy support says I should be getting headers as fast as I was before
their change. Agent support says as long as I have certain settings set
the way I do then it isn't Agent's fault.

So the only way to sort this out is to try a different news reader. What
recommendations do you have?

Try 'pan'.

I love Pan. It's my go too reader on Linux and Windows. Pan+e_s=win!
