I lost a bunch of image files due to a crash of an old External USB HDD

I have been re-adding them as I go along. Newsbin 64 gets nasty when I try to download files that had been downloaded before and some of the headers are showing up as "new" until I try to download them and then the dot color changes to blue which indicates older files that have been downloaded before. So for the most part I have been using the "Downloading-Bypassing the Filters" option and in most cases they re-download without any problems. But over the last few days several times it re-downloads the files but shows NO Kilobytes for size yet I know from the headers listed under the newsgroup name that the individual files sizes are between 400KB to 1,200KB. So I have to delete the download and try again and it then shows the correct size of the individual files.

Would you know what would cause this problem?

Okay I found out what is going on.

If you choose the options right below <Downloading -Bypass Filters> there is an option <Test Downloaded Files>. If you choose that option by mistake you will get the file name with a zero KB size.

I guess I will have to be more diligent when I choose the Bypass Filter Option.

Test shouldn't have made any kind of file. I'll have to look into it. Thanks.
