[leafnode-list] large volume (binary) groups

Leafnode doesn't handle binary groups well?

"Leafnode was not made for binary newsgroups. It is a "private" news-
_server_ and not a offline reader (though you can use it to fetch news 
online, store and read them offline)."

Could it be possible to have two different leafnode servers running, one 
for binary groups?  Or, is INN the better tool for grabbing binaries?  I 
have a slower broadband connection, and don't mind large download so long 
as they're in the background and not, for instance, holding up leafnode 
getting gmane text mailing list groups or something.



thanks,

Thufir
