OK, this seems to be working. Do everything with 6.10 RC1 !!!:
1. temporarily remove Range.db3 and Range.db3-journal files from the folder with the headers of the group where last two weeks of headers are missing.
2. use "Download special"-> "Download nnn Older Posts"
3. repeat step 2 if necessary as many times as necessary with values that seem to be necessary.
4. when you see that there is no longer a gap, move back Range.db3 and Range.db3-journal files (overwriting the newly created ones)
Quade, can you confirm that this is a correct approach?
jloveguy wrote:Just a few notes to clarify...
I always right click and select either "download all headers" or "download latest". I always get a count and it takes quite a while to download the headers. The five hours that I mentioned was for time waiting for the headers to appear once I selected "show posts". They never showed up for the one group. All others worked fine. I'm trying once again. I am using build 1019.

If you have corrupt range.db3 files, this is how I'd handle it too. It wont fix cases where the storage DB's are damaged. If they get damaged you'll need to purge and re-download.
RayMark wrote:It is not that range.db3 is corrupt. Simply 14 days of headers missing. In many groups I have last headers 15-14 days old and then 0 days old.
But I need to fill that gap of two weeks - in many groups, some very large ones, with range.db3 present it is not possible.
This seems to be the only gap - all versions of 6.x up to 6.10 RC1 were downloading headers correctly.
In a way, I was lucky - a gap in headers somewhere several months ago would cause much more trouble.

If I could set the range to a certain date - that would help.

Did you read what Mho? He's told you twice now how to reset the counts and how to control how many days of headers it pulls.
Could you implement a special header download where only the specified range of headers (between 730 and 700 days in this example) could be downloaded?
