Harddrive died. Now Newsbin loads all files everytime

Postby mesadude » Thu Aug 27, 2015 6:21 pm

Hi Quade. I had my external drive fail, which was the file system for Newsbin. I replaced it, and can't get the visual setup I had back. So I just hit the reset defaults.
I hit download the group updates, and it ran all day as the groups were being fully populated.
Now, when I fire her up, and hit Download the latest Group updates, it repopulates all files every time. What I want it to do is populate only the latest files since my last visit. I thought I had it set for that, but Newsbin wants to update ALL files again.

Any clue?
Thanks,
Mesa

Did it actually finish last time? How about selecting all the groups, right click "Post Storage/Use Download Age" then set a short download age. Like 2 days. Then hit the Refresh the groups button and see how many it downloads.

Hi Quade. Thanks. Yes, that's much more manageable.
