In the "Add Groups" window one of the groups listed shows "16777216.00 T" as the post count.

It doesn't seem to hurt anything.

Nice, I'm on astra and a whole whack are showing that, new to me. It's actually showing it as smaller than zero when you sort by size. Weird.

Tried downloading all, they appear to be empty.

I forgot to say I'm using 6.10 1339

I am also on astraweb.

I'd delete the groups.db3 and re-download using the "Download Groups list from server" button.

I'm going to try that but first I thought I'd mention that I get the following error when trying to download all

[08:58:05] ERROR - Server:ssl-us.astraweb.com Illegal Group state Record ID's invalid: [Group name removed by me]This group is Empty

Deleting the groups.db3 file and re-downloading the list fixed the post count number.

I still get the same ERROR message. Is that by design?

It's telling you the group is empty. That means...the group is empty. The number of posts listed in the groups list are just estimates from the server. You can turn on "show server commands" in the network options, try to download headers and not the commands sent and the replies returned. That'll tell you if the group is empty or not. This is totally unrelated to the groups.db3 issue.
