Yahoogroups not working with download accelerators doesn't surprise me; 1)
quite often (as some people have found) simply downloading things normally
from yahoo groups doesn't work very well, and 2) some places don't like
people using download accelerator tools due to the nasty side-effects they
can have.

What download accelerator are you using?
