# Sample Size

By default,the first time that Glitter examines a newsgroup, it will look at all messages stored on the server for that group. For many newsgroups, this will be a very large number. By specifying a sample size, you ensure that no more than that number of messages are examined. Note that this only effects the first time that Glitter looks at the group. All subsequent downloads will examine all new messages regardless of the number that have been posted since the last time you downloaded from the group.
