Weird Error

[Clubber]

I have noticed that sometimes I receive an error in the critical errors message screen that it had a problem communicating with a server or something, or connection could not be established with a file that I did not select to download. Has someone somehow hacked my account?

It's more likely that you're just mis-interpreting what you're seeing.

I will post a more detailed response the next time that I see it. I have seen denials for some kind of server access or something for .rar parts of files that I have not selected for downloading. That's what I thought was really weird about what I saw in the error message.

Just be sure to obfuscate any specifics, if you need details to describe it, then probably a private message to Quade would be better.

There's no 'memory' between usenet sessions as far as the server side knowing what you downloaded in the past - there's just the local ability to remember what you've downloaded so you don't repeat downloads (it's an option), and it's local to that machine only. I'm guessing you're seeing that for a file you forgot about downloading. It's unlikely anything has been hacked so don't lose any sleep over it. A simple password change should put that worry down anyway.
