Anyone else see about 26 messages of something, quite large?

I'm glad I have broadband - otherwise my 'Net connection would have been
very bust for a few hours!

Not very clever to post all that on this NG - maybe a binaries NG would be
more appropriate?!?!?!!

i just see one big message.

i'm agree with you, this message shouldn't be post here. ( and in any
newsgroup ! )
the goal of news group is to share information .... not data !


regards.

Yup.  Apparently a self-extracting archive.  I always play it safe and
assume any executable posted on Usenet is a virus.

No problems here, because I use gnus agent, but others may have been
affected.

Definitely, or a url.
