character set or font.. am I doing something wrong?

Hi, On one of the groups that I follow, I see headers in UE that look like this: Les Jardins des Délices · Chansons de la Renaissance - Obsidienne, Bonnardot (2003 Calliope 2004) - "Les Jardins des Délices · Chansons de la Renaissance - Obsidienne, Bonnardot (2003 Calliope 2004).7z.XXX"...

Switching to the European Astraweb server made no difference at all.

Re: anyone else having problems with Astraweb downloads?

Thanks Alex,
I just got a reply from Daniel at Astraweb. He suggested switching from "news.astraweb.com" to "eu.news.astraweb.com"
I'll give that a try... have to go back to the Help file to refresh my old memory as to how to add a server :oops:

anyone else having problems with Astraweb downloads?

Hi, I have been a UE/Astraweb user for several years and have always found Astraweb to have fantastic completion rates. I have also found that uploads of TV shows by teevee@4u.net have been exceptionally reliable. In the past week I have been having great difficulty getting a complete download of an...

Hi Alex,

I have 2GB of RAM on a 3 GHz dual core PC and I have a cable broadband connection.

When UE starts to update the headers it essentially freezes my PC for about 5 minutes.

I very rarely try to open more than one NG at a time.

thanks

Can I set my Watch/Get Headers to a time of day?

Hi,

in Properties/Watch the dialog box says "Get Headers every [ ] minutes".

I would prefer to enter a time of day so that the header downloads happen and a slack time... like the middle of the night.

Is this possible?

thanks

can UE generate unique file names as it downloads

Hi, Recently I requested a large number of jpeg files from a.b.amp that are part of a photo collection. There were many files that had the same file name so when I looked in my download folder many of the earlier files had been overwritten by the later files. Is it possible to have UE generate uniqu...
