I am running 6.40B5.

When I open a folder of groups, then sort the list of articles by Subject, then scroll down quite a ways, and highlight a bunch of articles in the middle of the list or so, then right click and select either Create NZB from Posts or Save Files to Custom List, the resulting NZB or Custom List has a completely incorrect list of articles. This is after selecting "Download All Articles", (hopefully) overwriting my previous headers full of gaps and missing time frames.

If I do the same steps from an individual group instead of a folder of groups, it works as intended, placing only the highlighted articles in the Custom List and NZB.

Custom List has a completely incorrect list of articles. This is after selecting "Download All Articles", (hopefully) overwriting my previous headers full of gaps and missing time frames.

"Download all Headers" should probably close the tab. Once you "Download all Headers" all the currently visible files are no good any more. You have to close the tab and re-load.

Basically "Download all Headers" with a tab full of posts pulled the rug out from under the existing files. If don't want to do this, set a very long "Download Age" then right click the group, "Post Storage/Use Download Age" and then download headers normally.


1 - "Download all Headers" wipes the header database before download.

2 - Long display age, "Use Download Age" and download headers normally, just adds the new headers to the existing database.

Makes perfect sense. I'll be careful with "Download All Headers" from now on. I had random gaps here and there, not just recent articles missing, but also older ones in various intervals.

Thank you!

Low traffic group? Guy on IRC reported lost articles on new header downloads here an there. He and I have been trying to track it down. It works perfectly for me. I added a logging feature for him to log the header downloads, he says he doesn't lose any when the logging is enabled.
