I guess I found so many issues with megajoin, I turned it off and
things have worked OK. Forte has tried to improve things, but with
the general decline of Usenet, aside from those downloading TV using
NZBs, improvements to Agent seem unlikely - hopefully I'm wrong.
I just discovered that by adding a USB drive to my ASUS router, it has
an NZB application that automagically downloads NZBs onto that drive.
It also will do torrents. Rather amazing use of the bitty computer in
the router. So the TV guys get NZBs downloaded into a DNLA server!
