After upgrade to v6.50, downloaded posts show as idle/old

Can't tell downloaded from idle/old now. I seem to recall an older post that mentioned deleting and redownloading posts, if that is the fix, can you detail a safe way to do that? Regards

The "Downloaded" information is now all stored in "DownloadMarker.db3" in the data folder. This change means the old indications don't show any more. If when you download new stuff, it doesn't show up as downloaded, you might want to exit Newsbin and delete this file.

The reason I changed this is do NZB, Search and Header downloads would all share the same "Downloaded" state.

Reasonable change, did you make a way for migration of the old information? Knowing whether something has been downloaded before is important information in my estimation.

It is important but, there's no good way to bring the data forward. The old way, the data was spread all over the headers for headers.

Newsbin still remembers what you've downloaded at the download layer so, any duplicate downloads will fail as long as the duplicate detector is used. It works at another level.
