new issues...

Postby Spearhawk » Tue May 29, 2012 8:29 pm

I have been away for about 7 months overseas and when I download the latest version of newsbin and check the newsgroups
I suddenly have to repress the download all headers several times in order to get a full list of all the headers there...


have there been made a kind of limit to how many headers can be downloaded cause its annoying when there is old headers I
want to dowload and there is more than a million posts and every time I press download all headers I get only 300-700 more headers...


what am I missing? the download all headers only work for 3-700 headers, i use to be able to download all...

Maybe the group is dead?

What's your "Storage Age" set to?

What server are you using?

What Tier of service on the server.

Every time you "Download all" you wipe the existing headers you've already downloaded so. Doing "Download all" over and over again, isn't recommended. What version are you using? Some of the groups are so big these days that some of the older versions simply don't work any more.
