My Agent newsreader tells me: "there are too many messages to retrieve
in this group". Can i change Agent`s settings somewhere?
Or else can somenbody recommend a better newsreader?

The newer version of Agent can handle a lot more headers. Can't do
multiple servers though.

slrn is a newsreader. One of the best there is.
The site seems to be down for the moment:
http://www.slrn.org/

Also, Mozilla Thunderbird is another one:
http://mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/

Opera (the browser) has a newsreader builtin.
