What is the little arrow with the blue check box in the left column of the Subject List for? It seems to appear on both part1.rar files, and for par2 files.

Click it...

...and see...

OK, I got that... it merely expands and unexpands the list when there's multiple parts. Maybe I clicked it wrong the first time, it seemed to check the box next to it and Newsbin just began downloading. Or is there more to it?

Sounds like you missed, if you hit the arrow, it toggles expand/contract. Click the box, it gets added to the download queue.

Thanks guys - I guess I just missed as you said. My cordless Logitech mouse needs a charge, so maybe it's wiggin' out. But I can't put the mouse down long enough to charge it cause I'm playing with the new Newsbin on a 2nd box, trying to decide whether to jump or not.

Also trying to decide whether to upgrade my 5.59, or just do a clean install of v6. Any words of wisdom on that one? I don't have a ton of stored headers and maybe 15 or so groups in 5.59...

Everyone has their opinions, I'm a firm believe in clean installs. You can, and should, however, copy over your nbi file and use that - that's most of the annoying stuff like servers, groups subscribed to, etc. Also, if you've spent any time setting up filters, the filters.db3 would be handy too. I'd do a clean install, register, then quit, pull over the nbi, put it in the same folder as the new one, double click it to start. It will use that nbi from now on.

<EDIT>

Oh yeah,if you've upgraded from an older os, you may need to change the data folder location to match whatever the default install set...

DThor, I think I will probably do a clean install. I'm going to wait for the bug fix version of 6 before I jump.

Thanks for your opinion!!
