Version 6.50 Beta 10 Available...

How about turning the retries up? You have control over when it fails the files. It doesn't fail till the retries expire.

Sounds like you're looking for some blind download mode. Download what's there and assemble what you've got and hope the pars are sufficient. Maybe I could re-purpose "Aggressive" mode to work that way. When the retries expire always assemble instead of fail.

It's pretty simply, B5 didn't move files to the failed list. B10 does. People didn't want Newsbin assembling partial files that didn't have PAR files. A partial file with no par files is just junk.

So, files that aren't complete, that don't have PAR files get moved to the failed list when the retries expire.

Nice explanation but it doesn't explane why i see exactly the same files download perfect in B5 and not in B10.

It looks as i pointed out before that B10 has an issue with reading the filelist from the newsserver.

It explains everything.

It's beta and I'm still tuning it. Increasing the retries will likely make it stop sending things to the failed list. Set it to 10 and see what happens.

I hope that if I have Disable Autopar on, which I always do, I will not be getting failed files instead of assembled incompletes like I do now.

sorry was not meant as an attack but more like positive feedback

I'm fine with what you're saying. Keeps me on my toes.

Possible issue with Proxy.

There may have been a change with the way proxy is handled. I am using HTTPS proxy with no username and password.

running 6.50b10 build 2776 64-bit under Win7:

Code: Select all

[12:49:37]  DEBUG Proxy Type Set: 3 HOST
[12:49:37]  ERROR Error: SSL Negotiation Failed, Host: HOSTNAME Error: SSL Connection Failed: 1 Error 0 The operation completed successfully.
[12:49:37]  ERROR DG - Connection Failed: HOST Index:1

The same proxy configured under 6.41 build 2123 64-bit works. This is running on the same Win7 system.

Edit: I forgot to add that the server I am connecting to is over an SSL connection over port 443. This is the same between the two versions.
