Usenet Explorer

Thanks, guys, for your responses. I think Timogin's right. Stupid error of thinking on my part, I guess, but I was confused by the way UE initially reports my speed as something like "1.5 MB/s," then "2.6 MB/s" as the speed picks up, then switches to "768 KB/s." I assum...

I'm completely stumped. Other readers download binaries at 6+MB/s, but UE seems stuck at 768KB/s. Initially, I get about 1.5MB/s with UE, then the speed tapers down to a pretty steady 768KB/s. I have no bandwidth limit set, I've tried multiple ports, I've tried multiple macines, and I've tried multi...

I can't answer your question, but can I ask what speed you end up at once it trails down after the boost?

You did it! Awesome...thanks a ton, man!

Sheesh, talk about support!

Thanks Alex...if "move to top" unsuspended articles in the download tab, that would make me a very happy UE user.

Hello all, I had requested this in the past and would still really benefit if it were possible. I would like to be able to change the priority of pending downloads that are marked for later download and suspended. I have low priority filters set up, and any "hits" are marked for later down...

The save dialog is really annoying, it costs a lot of time. Create new folder - bam - just names "New folder". Ok, right click, rename - but then the focus jumps to the parent folder! Argh. Cick again on the right folder. If you have to do this 20 times a day it's really annoying. Alex - ...

You could add multiple kill filters, or you could combine them into a single expression something like:

(*filter*&*one)|(*filter*&*two*)|(*filter*&*three*)

And if you use ALL Compact Binary types, you might not need to break up your database at all. I subscribe to about 120 groups with 35-day retention on several servers and am getting along just fine with one database. For even fewer groups with shorter retention, I used at least six (I think I was up...

1 - I know that the checkbox all the way to the right of the search bar opens the "find" option for searching as opposed to filtering. The other checkbox at the left turns on the quickfilters (flagged, ^flagged, etc.). If you check a filter, they will automatically be turned on and that le...

You rule. Thanks, man...

I understand...the only problem is that moving them to the top only works if there are other tasks active. If not, I have to search for the posts and change the priority on the listings themselves...that kind of defeats the purpose of the watch filters the way I am using them (which I like A LOT oth...

Alex - I asked about this while you were away. Is there something I am missing on how to do this, or is this post a feature request?

Welcome back, by the way! I hope your vacation was relaxing...

Was "Resolve DNS on every connect" (Properties->General) checked? UE probably caches the IP address indefinitely when this is unchecked (which I believe is the default). It wasn't checked, actually...but I thought that if the server was renamed, it wouldn't use a chached IP for a server w...

I have been using, among others, news-50.giganews.com, but when I upgraded my account, I was forced to move to news.giganews.com. Since both servers are from the same provider and they both contain the same headers, I figured I would just rename the existing news-50.giganews.com server to news.gigan...
