If I use SSL, can the IT administrator know that I am downloading from a news server, even if he doesn't know exactly the content? If your news server offers port 443, use that. That port is HTTPS, so it would look like you're downloading from a secure website, rather than a standard news server po...

this is not just marketing. Agreed. There is some sort of retention war going on at the moment. If one provider ups theirs, the others have to follow or lose to their competitors. I also have an Astra account and 600+ is there although their website doesn't appear to state the current retention ver...

Don't do this: Please disable SSL/TLS in the client. Instead disable this: Mail scanner will provide SSL/TSL security Disabling scanning of the connection will be fine, the files will be scanned as they are saved. I have the same type of scanner myself (not Avast) and it's irritating that they class...

The Updater still notified about a new version, but it just couldn't download. That's how I discovered the problem. Now did you get a notification that the updater needed to be updated? and then was it able to update UE? I downloaded the new Updater and then it updated UE. I just haven't been using...

The updater was using the old URL so it didn't work anymore. Hmm... I never realised there might have been a new version. It just shows that I only launch UE through the updater these days and I have update checking turned off in UE because of this. Is there any interest for a 64bit compatible vers...

UE could launch .bat files, e.g. to have a "Run" directory and some .bat files there with predefined names corresponding to certain events. This would tie in nicely with the request I made here some time ago. If we are clear about the events I could put a test release here to check that o...

Yes, a minor thing but one I think I've wished to myself was there a few times over the years. If your speakers are turned off, a small popup in the corner a-la Firefox, etc. to indicate all downloads are complete would be handy. Quite often I'm watching something on my HTPC where a sound may not be...

Well you can always start by looking at Seven Forums.

'When Permissions Go Bad'... Anytime you get into the quagmire that is resetting permissions you always hit a snag. At least I freely admit to that and I fix computers for a living. It happens often enough for things like this to exist. I use that a lot when I'm backing up computers that had passwor...

A quick search turns up this which states: Windows 7 has implemented addition security mechanism to prevent accidental or intentional file or folder modification by not allowing users other then owner of file or folder to access it. Hence incase if you need to access, modify or delete such files or ...

I did have permissions problems - at first. My UE dirs and files were all on a seperate disk, and when W7 first started, despite having the same computer name as before, it thought the disks were from some other system. I set everything to "full control" and then even copied all the files...

I run a mixture of x86 and x64 Win7 and I've never seen that happen. Which OS were you using before and did you do an upgrade? Also, where is UE installed? It may be a permissions quirk. Actually one thought I've remembered: Did you copy the shortcut (drag and drop?) from a Start Menu icon? If so, I...

The memory that is bad is physical, that is, you cannot fix it through any other means than by replacing the memory stick itself. Why it happened you may never know. It could have been bad from day one but only appeared recently, for example, if you only just started downloading certain files of a l...

If you are sure nothing has changed on your computer as to software (e.g. some automatic antivirus update), you can run memtest. http://www.netwu.com/newspro/MemTest.zip It is an old program and it has some limit (maybe 1.2GB to 1.4GB), if you have more RAM you can run several instances simultaneou...

Unfortunately not for me. When I do this it wil get all (or seemingly at least most) headers for the last 150 days but nothing beyond that. Is that correct? How can I get *all* headers since I know the server has much more retention! Some servers only allow header retrieval for a certain number of ...
