I´m playing on this for hours now. have a membership at astraweb and using free agent.
But I still have a question.
Is there a way to search only for the building empire release? I don´t want to search for all news on a.b.starwars.
Thanks for your help

Welcome to the big wide world of the newsgroups. Few people ever look back!!

a.b.starwars is one of the smaller binaries groups that are in use with not too many headers. If you simply get all headers/get new headers and group the headers by subject. That puts all of the files in a post together. They are then very simple to find and download.

Looking at the Astraweb server, there are currently lots of goodies still available there. My advice would be to get the older stuff first before it drops off the server BUT Building Empire is probably too hard to resist!!
