Subj : astraweb - newsgroups with yEnc rar files

I recently found I was quickly going through my usenet quota with astraweb.

When I reviewed groups that had a large number of messages I found

#AREA usenet_altcompfreeware alt.comp.freeware a
#AREA usenet_complangc++ comp.lang.c++ a

Both of these were receiving yEnc RAR parts.

I have removed both of these from my incoming feed. c++ makes no sense; but
I guess it is just another form of spam.

Thought I would share in case others may be getting c++ and or freeware
group, and haven't noticed the increase use in bandwidth to pull down
these groups.

I've tried to add some subject filtering; in case it is occurring in other
groups. But just removed these two for the time being.
