what client are you using Tricky, it might depend on that, also on how you prefer to use newsgroups.

For example using outlook express you might want to set up 3 channels, simultaneously downloading, but in a client where you can scan the groups & 'mark for download', I would assume you could be just as well off with a single channel?
