Trouble with nfo files and a question

Post by letol »

I used to have nfo files within the sets headers.
I just added another server (already had Giganews and added UsenetServer and the nfo files seems that desappear.
The all the sets are downloaded including a fill par files download, the are queued for unrar first and the queued for repair. The rar file is unrared and the a hole process to repair that only generates the nfo file but it takes too long.

Any idea.

The other question is: how might I configure the new server to download headers but just the recent ones, I don't want millions of headers that are in some groups.

Thanks in advance for your help.

if you can pm me an example of such download i could check it first, otherwise i could try to guess, just let me know.

as to the second question, you can disable all old servers in view menu->workspace, the second "servers" pane, just select them and use the context menu (right mouse button), just leave the new server enabled. Then edit menu->properties->newsgroups, you set "headers per server" e.g. to 1000 or you can set any small retention you like and then download headers for all newsgroups (so it will be only from the new server, ensure all the rest of servers are disabled). Then set the retention / headers per server as it was previously; when you press ok in the properties dialog it will ask you if you want to redownload headers in all groups, choose "No". then reenable all the servers.

The problem was .nfo file was included in .par2 file, but wasn't actually posted, it is why it is being restored through repair process.
