Usenet Explorer

Ok the problem was indeed in the API.* files. api.ini was fine, but when I moved the api.dat and launched UE the delete history menu was enabled. At exit UE created a new api.dat file. I guess I can use that instead of the faulty one. Anyway I have attached my old "not working" file for th...

Hi Alex, i'm using windows 7 x64 I have no utilities who inject code inside applications. I add another bit of info che could be useful to you. When I launched the version 4.8 for the first time, UE asked me to reset toolabars to default ones (I had custom toolbars and keybinding on 4.7). Maybe that...

Hi Alex,
just downloaded version 4.8 64bit and the new menu "delete history" is disabled, even if there are items in the search box (see the attached picture).

Not sure if there is an option to enable it or if it's a problem in the software.

That didn't do it. I had no other tasks waiting and as soon as I hit Alt+L it downloaded the file immediately. I want to be able mark any number of files for download later. At the time I mark them I do not want UE to try to download them at all. Several hours later I want to restart UE and only th...

Hi, lately especially on binary groups dedicated to TV shows there are more and more fake posts of collections of RAR passworded of single episodes. So when you download those after wasting bandwidth and time you are not able to unrar the files cause the password is not available. So i'd like to kno...

Ok thanks for the info.

Till the new release, I'll check the option "Local proxy for a new server", so in case of search configuration change , UE search will works with proxy.

Thanks again.

You're right now all works again with no changes on proxy setting in UE. Anyway my setting on proxy are: http proxy on port 8080 set as local proxy Search service set to relay thru local proxy. I can access to www.usenetexplorer.com using proxy and webbrowser without problems. Really dont know why U...

Ue tries to update the configuration but it cant. So searches are not available right now. Last week all worked well with the same proxy configuration (local http proxy on port 8080). I'm using the same proxy to go on Internet too so is working well. Maybe the update configuration wont work as the a...

Hi, using UE behind a proxy for a long time (network closes all the standard ports and non standars too) All worked well but this morning I was trying a search and UE told me that search configuration has been changed so it had to re-download the configuration but when the program try accessing to t...

Thanks a lot Jonib.

Another nice feature from UE I didnt know before

Hi My current settings are these MAX GROUPS set to blank in the task pane and initial mode set to PERSIST for all subscribed groups. This works fine when I launch IE with and all groups were unloaded on last run No disk trashing at start cause all is offline. When I invoke get new headers UE will lo...

This is not an real issue but since recently one big usenet service provider raised the retention to 200days, what will be the impact of that on UE usage on long term ? I mean if I set retention to 200days even if I use compact binary type for huge binary groups, how much ram will be needed to open ...

Hi usually I use UE at home with no problems at all but recently I tried to using it on a network with an access behind a proxy. The only standards ports opened are the 443 and the 563 so I can download articles from servers using SSL but the search feature wont work cause I saw in the menu it uses ...

Hi just noticited this strange behaviour in UE. Sometimes inside the .nfo or .txt file viewed as attachments online there are url to sites (especially db or info site like imdb or anidb) When I double click on those url my browser (firefox) is correctly opened pointing to that url but the default as...

Hi This is really a nice new feature in 1.7.1 but I have a minor issue: When I see online .nfo or .txt attachments sometimes they appear wrong since often those files in various newsgroup contain ASCII art or ANSI art so they need a fixed font and a fixed line length to show properly. For Ansi arts ...
