0 "new files"
Posted: Wed Oct 25, 2017 8:34 pm
I'm running version 6.80B9: 00 72 06 C3 BF 8E
Lately it's been acting very strangely. Everything works fine when I feed it a NZB file (which is how most of my downloads are done), but I also download the headers for about 130 groups from three servers (Astraweb, Astraweb EU, and XLned). I normally download the latest headers about every day or two, then I look through the new posts to see if there is anything that catches my eye, like ebooks from a favorite author or a music album or classic movies or TV shows that aren't on my regular watch lists. This has worked well for me... until recently.
For the last few days, newsbin had downloaded all the new headers (anywhere from a few hundred to over a million for each group), but after the header download finishes the "new files" column shows 0 new files, and of course nothing shows up when I show the posts (with the Hide Old filter).
If I leave newsbin running in the background waiting for whatever my indexer turns up, several hours later news bin will occasionally show some number of "new files" for some groups (without doing another header download).
I tried right clicking on each group and selecting Post Storage, Use Download Age to see if resetting the groups would help -- it didn't make any difference.
Several of the groups where newsbin is telling me there are 0 new files are groups that I know are very active, and where the header download shows downloading several hundred thousand new headers.
Quick add on:
While I was typing another post, I closed and started newsbin twice. The second time I started newsbin, I noticed that it now showed a few hundred new files for some of the groups (without having downloaded any new headers).
