In View menu->Workspace right click on the newsgroup and invoke Open&Get new headers or similar options.

If nothing appears you can try to uncheck Edit menu->Properties->Enable built in spam filter especially "Downloadable", but you should see nothing useful there.

One server needs to be fixed (hardware), the former starlink server I now connected directly. That server can provide decent retention by itself, but the other server should be fixed too eventually. Need to check the current real retention on servers and at least as long as one search server is down...

It is a possibility to add dynamic unrar, it could be in v7.5. In the beginning of December I switched to upgrading OpenSSL which was released in early January, then due to exceptional circumstances the work stalled, so first I need to finish where I left off (newznab interface, maybe 75% done) whic...

Does it work for .7z files too? I could try to check it, it would keep the unrar task slot occupied then during the whole download (so would add one more thread). Very likely there is no waiting option in the unrar command line executable, so such a feature would have to use the embedded unrar code....

I've updated the release notes too. TLS v1.1 no more.

I removed the deprecated SSL methods and reuploaded the files, so you can try to have a deprecated SSL method set in a previous release and just run the currently uploaded version and it will change it to TLS (all). Usually users don't change the SSL default method, so it is not a big deal. So in th...

What is the setting Edit menu->Properties->General, SSL in the previous and the latest versions (both)? The default TLS (all) is the same as previous default SSLv3+, just a different name since SSLv3 has been depreciated, so it is not shown as a choice in the latest version. If your setting is non-d...

To see everything you may uncheck edit menu->properties->kill filters/blacklist, "enable built in spam filter" especially "downloadable". If you see something useful there let me know, but those are prevalently just randomized headers mostly posted by (likely) nzb websites and wi...

Hopefully everything now works ok in v7.4.2

I see, that in v6.1 when the option was still in Import it was unchecked by default. So probably it is better to have them both unchecked by default and not to interfere with the user settings. The only necessary option appears to be "Import as collection" as it may store nzb unrar etc. pa...

I didn't notice your message initially. if ( last_version>=7000&&last_version<7500|| last_version>=6000&&last_version<=6110|| last_version<5991 ) bSaveSubdir=TRUE; //18 Nov 24 I thought the next version will be v7.5, but it went differently after two users came up with the issues ref...

Thanks for noticing that, I was running an updated server version to check it with the next release. I've restarted the previous server version, the newer one was only running for a few hours. Later: I've restarted everything again with the updated code, the only problem was if there were no results...

Whether auto collections are shown is governed by Edit menu->Properties->Newsgroups, the "Collections" combo box for the selected entry. Only the sort order may have the "Persist" setting, the rest are set to be fixed in Properties, otherwise it would be too confusing. Check mayb...

It is related to the relatively recently added code to suppress flicker (so it is only in v7), there are two aspects, one for the newsgroup views, another for the task manager article view, at first I wrote the part for the newsgroup view code, then when adopting the code to do the same in the task ...

It should work now, header download was suspended as no headers were coming to have an option to change server settings to prevent unnecessary newsgroup resets and excessive header download later, but it is fast to bring them up-to-date.
