How to automatic download all messages in one group?

Post by driesbessels »

For a number of groups I woudl liek it is Newspro would simply download all messages in that group. It is a text-only group so amount of traffic is not the issue.
How do I do this, I cannot find any options for it.
Thanks

check watch and automation related topics at http://www.usenetopia.com

all what you need is to add all.flt (in the package) in edit menu->properties->watch/auto for the newsgroup and check the watch check boxes (both for the newsgroup and in the common settings area).

I am trying to DL headers/bodies with wtch auto feature

Post by mariela06 »

I am not sure If I got this right. I read the related topic in http://www.usenetopia.com but I am not so clear. I want some confirmation on what I did

I set up the scheduler for tonight and early tomorrow. I set it to on and the time for tonight is 23:00-24:00
for tomorrow is 00:00-4:00

so, that will activate the scheduler

then, in the watch/auto area, I have set some of the NGs to DL headers every so often (** this is already working without the scheduler). Since I want to DL a specific post that will be posted tonight, I created a filter containing file x in the header, associated it with a newsgroup (ab.misc) and set a DL directory

I also set the watch and save to on for that NG

the common settings are all off, except for the get headers (this is what I think gets the headers every now an then as I indicated above with ** - but not sure -

I remember I attempted to do this before and didn't work. So, I might have done something wrong.

the rest of the NG are mostly on default, except for the get headers of the common settings and couple of NG that have get headers every 800 minutes or so...

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
