Hi, I recently upgraded to v6 from v5. Something has changed in v6, so that every time I open NB, it re-downloads a bunch of old .PAR files for things I've long since downloaded, and deleted/moved. It re-creates the download folders for each, and downloads ONLY the .PAR files. Many of these files are old enough that it results in a bunch of errors about the files no longer existing on the server. I go and I delete all these folders and .PAR files it creates, but the very next time I re-open NB it does the same thing! It looks like it's always the same files too.

I'm not familiar with the v6 GUI enough yet, and I'm not sure how to tell it to stop trying to download these .PAR's. Very frustrating. I run with mostly default options, I'm fairly certain this isn't a result of a setting I changed. Thanks in advance. I tried looking at the FAQ and searching the forums but didn't find an answer to this.

Delete the file "Download.db3". This will wipe the download list. It sounds like Newsbin is re-importing the old V5 files each time.

I found a "Downloads.db3" in my C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Application Data\NewsBin path, I renamed it to "Downloads.old". That seemed to do the trick. Thanks!
