Downloading headers problem

Post by BobMallet »

:?: :?: I Need Help!!
I am using the newsfeeds.com servers and am having problems getting headers.
goliath-east.newsfeeds.com for example shows no headers but I have downloaded 1036.54m, when trying to download headers for alt.binaries.mp3 it shows 1 header only and will not download any further headers even though the servers shows over 1000 m.
Using XP with sp2 and all the latest updates and V4 of NP.
Everything was working fine a couple of weeks ago before I went on holiday.
All help gratefully received.

maybe newsfeeds switched servers like they were used to do in the past.
try to reset headers in the newsgroup then all should work again, in usenet explorer there is additional command "advanced->reset header ranges" from the newsgroup menu in the workspace, so only header ranges are reset but headers themselves are preserved, anyway as a rule this is rarely needed, with other usenet providers they even synchronize article numbers across different servers.
