Again, I have the correct expressions. They work and get what I am looking for, with a pretty high degree of accuracy. But I have to keep modifying each filter with the next incremental episode. Example: This week: Bones&(1[x e]0[4-9]|10[4-9])&(^svcd)&(^.hr.) Then before next week, so th...

Is there any way to program "variables" into watch filters? A potential use would be to capture all episode posts in a series, but only one version. After downloading episode 3, the variable gets incremented, and the filter only watches for episode 4 and higher then. I know using wildmats ...

Can articles be downloaded by msg-id direct if the newsgroup has been specified as a compact binary. I have several servers that I can download by msg-id direct but will not allow downloads as a server under the compact binary.

What are the meanings of all the different icons in the Servers tab?

(an envelope; a red dot; a green dot; etc.)

Has there been any experience in running newspro as a service in Win2k using something like FireDaemon?
