Hi group,
On the above mentioned newsgroup, there are a large number of messages
by "G" to Richard Crisp, a contributor, detailing Hubble Telescope
pictures. As I have a slow dial-up connection these downloads are
causing a major bottleneck in collecting news. Is this peculiar to me,
or is everyone experiencing this behaviour? And, is there anything I can
do about it?

Thanks,
jpd
