Yes. Think you just gave me the answer.
Thanks.

After clicking any of the "suspends" what's the best way to restart the download?

Thanks,

Hi, UE 3.5 Alex said. I forget and lost it. :oops: :( There was a setting (F5) I think under Properties --> Newsgroups maybe where you could limit the number of items within a newsgroup. Before I mess and screw things up (typical me), I'd like confirmation/correction. Object: to be feed items in sma...

Hi, nice to be back. :D ASUS with Windows 8. :twisted: UE 3.5 Question: How to set up a filter which will block/delete incoming files across all newsgroups. Possible? Example: alt.binaries.multimedia , alt.binaries.teevee , etc., which are always huge, have French, Dutch, etc. that are beyond my lin...

Installed news.grc.com this morning and collected newsgroups. All went well except for the red !. Checking the problem, I found all newsgroups (old and new) had double servers in my case news.grc.com and bignews.com. Is that correct? If not, how do I remove a server from those newsgroups that don't ...

Alex,

Happy to report all is still well. Have everything current. There is joy in Mudville.

Still would like to have the info requested in my last post about setup.

Thanks for everything.

Alex, You won't believe this. I'm not sure that I do. Had insomnia last night so was up early. In a semi-awake state I fired up UE. Clicked the Railroad and Sailing groups just for kicks not expecting anything different. OMG! Everything flowed down from 500+ days ago down to the second for all. I di...

what are retention/headers per server settings in edit menu->properties->newsgroups? retention try to change to "natural" and header per servers to "all", then reset (or it will ask to redownload all headers when you change settings) and try to get headers again. Retention/heade...

I'm back. Had to go out of town. Try to reset headers from edit menu->workspace (the leftmost pane) or newsgroup context menu, or, if you want to keep older headers, just reset header ranges in the workspace, context menu->advanced. You can also check header ranges from the workspace context menu be...

In Workplace I click to get the headers. I get the green light and a "Connecting" in the Task manager's "Headers." All of that is very brief and produces nothing (no download). Everywhere else I click, I see the green light, notification of connect, and files start to flow. Would...

No, red question marks anywhere. Have never seen one of them - lucky me. I know what you mean.

I've also checked the firewall and other blockers. No help there either.

Hi and Happy New Year, everyone. A rootkit sneaked through the defenses in December with very bad results. I've been restoring since. Aside from losing newsgroups here, settings were also lost. Here are some of the problems: How to initiate a second and third server. My primary server is bignews whi...

Thanks much.

I have found Tora! Tora! Tora! which is rather huge. I also think I'm on the tail of the speed queue. It'll take 30 hours from the squib at the bottom to complete. I don't want to lose it and have to start over. Question: When you have to leave UE, which in this case requires a reboot, and there's s...

This is coming from a newbie so is worth about as much.

Check your filters. I just pulled that trick and was receiving nothing from anybody.

Properties -> Newsgroups -> Headers per Server (Range)

is what did me in.

Good luck!
