Check the logging tab. Could be it's a duplicate, or a permission issue of some kind, for example. The log should indicate what's going on.

I'd exit Newsbin, delete the file "Downloads.db3" and then restart and try again. This will erase the downloads, failed and wish lists.

Thank you this helped i can now download again. it also fixed another problem.

when i did hit the Start / Stop filtering in the window with all the header. all the headers did disapear, i hitted it again becuse i thought that might turn it off. but they were just all gone.

but now they are back after i deleted downloads.db3


Thanks for your time!

How are you downloading? Headers, NZB's or search? You might want to upgrade to 6.11 but, I just don't know. Without some error messages, there's no way for me to guess what's going on. You have nothing listed in the logging tab?

From the download link on the newsbin site. 6.11 is the current production release.

What's your "Storage Age" set to? I'd make sure it's longer than how old these files are.

Storage age is what I'm asking about though. If it's too short, the data you're trying to download might have already been deleted. Set it to 1500. Right click the group "Post Storage/Delete Stored Posts" then download headers again and see what happens.
