I noticed after I posted here that it wasn't happening in every case, only posts from a particular very prolific author. It just so happens that I DL many of his files. I found that some of the RARs had the same title as the thread but others had the title called out in the PAR file! So it definitel...

When I DL a multipart RAR file, UE has started UNRARing the file after each part. Then it UNRARs again when all segments have been downloaded. I end up with 2 directories containing the same UNRARed file! This didn't happen before. UE would wait for all pieces to finish and only then UNRAR them. I d...

Yes, it must be that some other process is eating the Alt+I before it gets to UE, because I added another hotkey to Search Service View->Download&save Immediately as well as Newsgroup View->Download&save Immediately and that seems to work perfectly.

Thanks for your help, alex!

I just recently started trying to use keyboard shortcuts more often. I've found 2 that don't seem to work in UE. 1. Alt+P should take me to the Import menu, but doesn't do anything. All others ( Alt+F for File, Alt+E for Edit, etc.) seem OK. 2. If I have a range of articles marked and press Alt+I , ...

Time has come for me to renew again. Alex, I'm broke but I'll spend the money on UE and just stop eating for a while. I need to lose weight, anyway.

Is there any incentive to buy the Subscription License? I notice it's the same $35 as the One-time.

What is the easiest way to move UE to a new PC? I want the new installation to be identical to the old in every way, so that I don't see any difference when I use it--UE settings, history, preferences, servers, everything. Once the new version is up and running, I won't be using the old, so there wo...

Yes, "Mark Old" sounds perfect since that really describes what we're talking about here. I do use different colors for new and old, so I'll do that. It occurred to me that the Search Service must have all the necessary info to identify groups with the most activity as well as those that h...

OK, how about if I mark all groups as "flagged." Then the next time I get the group list, any new groups will be "unflagged" which I can see by using ^flag on the quick filter. After I look at them, I then mark those new groups as "flagged" too, so that I can do the sam...

When I DL the list of my server's newsgroups, is there a way that UE can tell me the newsgroups that have been added since the last time I did that ? I'm looking for a way of finding out the names of any recently added new groups. Also, is there a way to know which groups have been most active durin...

I understand.

Thanks again, Alex. Not just for the help, but for making available, developing and supporting this great product.

Thanks, Alex for the quick and accurate reply. edit->bodies->purge all headers&threads pretty much released all the space in the /Bodies directory. How do I keep this from happening again? Do I just do this purge periodically? In Properties->Save/Unpack->Save, I have everything but "Delete ...

My DB directory for UE is 8.07 GB! I've been using UE for several years, but I never noticed before because there was always plenty of room. I'm guessing that I'm not releasing or purging something. Every once in a while (perhaps once every 6 weeks), I do crash while UE is running. Might that have s...

How did I miss that? I knew it had to be possible. UE can do anything.

Thanks, alex.

Hi all, Is there a way in UE to link certain newsgroups to certain servers? If I have 3 servers A, B and C and I want newsgroup X to use server A ONLY , never B or C. And I want newsgroup Y to use server B ONLY , never A or C ... well, you get the idea. I don't see a way to do that without manually ...

Is there a way in UE 1.5.1 to specify a Kill Filter for articles that have been crossposted? If not, I suggest it for an enhancement as such messages are often Spam.

Thanks.
