"No News Server!" error clear out of the blue

Postby br0adband » Sat Apr 05, 2014 1:09 am

Been using/upgrading through the past few betas to the latest official public release (6.51 Build:3162) and it just now gives me the popup saying "No News Server! Newsbin requires access to a Usenet News Server to download files." which is odd because I had just finished downloading some content from UsenetServer not 30 seconds prior. I primarily do use NZB files for direct access but for one group I was going to do a manual download of header info and then browse it "the good old fashioned way" and then I get that error. I have 3 servers currently (Astraweb, UsenetServer, and XSUsenet) and only one enabled (UsenetServer), so I disabled that one and tried the others, same result(s): "No News Server!" continually pops up.

Haven't made any glaring changes so I'm a bit stumped as to what's going on. If I load an NZB it'll connect to the given enabled server - any of them as I just tested that functionality - but if I attempt a header download for any group from any server I'm stuck with that popup.

Open to any and all advice or suggestions at this point... thanks.

Bleh, figured it out: for whatever reason the "No header download" checkbox became enabled and I have no idea why, but it was checked for all 3 enabled servers. Unchecking it obviously restored the functionality I was missing.

Weird...

That was quick. Glad you figured it out.
