Hi, I'm getting a lot of par2 files left behind with grey bars but all seems to be okay with the downloaded files. It just seems like they are not being automatically removed from the download queue anymore. Is there a switch that I may have changed somewhere or does something els need setting?

so to clarify the top parent bar is full purple and the child bars are full grey.
Some are paused also but many have been downloaded and are actually on the drive and not cleaned up.

thanks

Just wondering....Has this not been answered because nobody knows or is it because it's a daft question that I should know the answer to already? : )

"top parent bar is full purple"

I thought "child bars" will not go away until the top parent bar goes away upon completion of QuickPar decoding or manual deletion.

Too many Newsbin version between 6.50B14 and 6.50B18, so your's may be different.

Maybe the question should be why "top parent bar is full purple" and did not auto decode and go away.

So, did it auto-decode or did you intervene before it had time to auto-decode.

I think I just missed it.

Hit the + icon and look for files that are still "downloading". You can right click these and "Assemble Incompletes" if you think you have enough data to repair. If Newsbin didn't do this automatically, typically it means it didn't think there were enough pars but, it's not 100% right all the time.

No. I left everything to do on auto.

I'm usually very specific about what I want however in these last few downloads I've needed to just grab a few thousand articles to see what comes up. Alot of the stuff left over has corresponding GOOD data downloaded. It just seems to have left the par files behind even though the DLs looked good. I'm also seeing a lot (several hundred) of thin purple starting bars but then stopped and paused but with no errors. I'm wondering if these have been posted as articles with Par files after and that the main files are downloading ok but the parfiles are being left behind because Newsbin doesn't see then as associated with the original files.

There are literally hundreds and hundreds though. I also have detect duplicates turned off so wonder if these maybe the par files of duplicates.

I'll take a look at the end of the project and see if theres anything of value left. If not I'll manually delete them.


btw is there a way to open all the +s at once?

thnx

"I've needed to just grab a few thousand articles"

On my computer that would take a month to download and my harddrive would be full long before that.

If it were me, I would click in the Downloading Files window, do a Control A key, and delete button. Then start over one at a time.

lolol Ribble.......so doing one at a time on Your computer would take you a lifetime...just like it would on mine. My way it takes me 3 days : )

btw.... I live on the banks of the river Ribble - how funny is that!

Yeah, dups might leave small pars behind. Maybe Failed download, say because they were encrypted.

Poor Ribble is making do with 1 Mbps.
