I just signed up for AstraWeb and tried to do a full download for a large group. There were some huge number of headers. I couldn't tell if it was 42 million-something or 425 million-something. Could modify the header numbers in the download list to use "," to separate thousands and millions. (Of course, "." for our European friends.)

Also, it would be nice to be able to select a date range for downloads from these large groups. I wanted to go back only six months, but I needed to do a full download, well over 2 years, to get all six months.

Thanks.

The "Download Age" sets how many days worth of headers it downloads the first time it visits a group. Set it to 240 days and new groups will only download 240 days worth of headers. If you've already downloaded some headers from the group, right click "Post Storage/Use Download Age" will reset it to use the download age again.

OK. Thank you. Chalk this question up to "cockpit error."
