Yeah, that sounds like the ticket. I unpaused one of many paused .PAR2 files.

Hey, any chance of adding download time remaining to the tray icon tooltip while your at it? Just thought I would ask!

I've noticed this a couple of times.

I've got nothing downloading, and so I unpause a .PAR2 file.

The file this morning was 39M and I have a 400k download speed, yet it claimed the download would take 15 minutes, when in reality it took about 2 minutes tops.

Maybe Alex can answer these now that he's back.

There is a setting under the newsgroups call retention/dates which looks like its set to 30.

Give that a try.

Ok, I'm having two issues with importing NZB files. First (and worst!) it keeps on insisting on trying to download everything again, even if it has already downloaded half the files. I believe newspro respected the read flag and didn't try to download those files again. Second, it always saves parti...

Alex.

I really think it would be worthwhile for you to write a simple Newspro->UE conversion Wizard. It would really only have to import newsgroup names and server accounts. Anything else (priorities, server setting etc) would be a bonus.

Thanks! That must be what I am doing wrong. It seems a bit backward to me though. I would think it would be easier to use a flag to tell NewsPro to only use this server for fills, instead of having to mark a higher priority server as not allowing lower priority fills. Oh well, now I can set it once ...

That indeed seems to be how Newspro is working, but that behavior does not match the Server Priority description on the NewPro web site: the 'strict' flag prohibits using a server with lower priority while there is a chance to download the article later from a more preferred server. If a server exha...

Hello, I am trying to get my setup working with a server set for only filling. I have 4 accounts on 1 provider, so I set one to get headers and the others to msg id only. These are all set to priority 2. So far, so good. This works great. I also have a limited account on another provider which I onl...

I already have 5 or 6 databases with multiple accounts all having headers.

I'll convert them over to msgid. Just curious if there was an advantage to reseting the server after I convert it.

Thanks.

It seems to work.


Is there any advantage to resetting the servers that are now not collecting headers to save HD space or memory footprint?

Alex, You added the ability to have multiple instances of a server in the past, which has helped greatlly, but what would work much better for me is to have multiple user accounts for a single server. I am currently using 2 account names, and am considering upping it to 5. 5 copies of all the header...
