Downloading confusion
Posted: Sat Jan 09, 2021 5:10 pm
I had used Newsbin for a few years before a period of being busy with other things. It seemed easy to use and did what I needed. Now it does not.
I believe my Newsbin registration and Usenet subscription to be valid after a recent check.
Both Giganews and Usenetserver are on the Server list but only Usenetserver is enabled.
I recently tried downloading some posts from several groups on Usenetserver and observed this outcome:
The "Current Progress" bar appears to show downloading, with blocks of mostly gray color with a thin green line at top of each block. A number of these blocks may appear, perhaps all for a small file before some or all turn red.Eventually all are red.
The "Status" area shows something like this: [1 FILES, 0 PARS] D:0 DL:1 retry:0 N:10.
I can find no downloaded files.
I want to make it simple again.
