Urgent! Partial messages download

[nostradamus99]

Hi,

I'm leaving this weekend on a trip that's why the urgent in the subject
I'm a relative newbie using newspro 3.71 (purchased) and have the following situation:

Downloading several binaries from newsservers (using autowatch/save) which works.
Most of the message are incomplete (about 40%). Most messages start at 35% complete and after 8 hours or so they become complete or stay incomplete.
How do I configure Newspro to download everything available on the servers and keep a lookout if the messages become complete ? I want to download as much a possible so that PAR2 files might help me get the stuff complete. (Because of retention time etc). I hope that when I get back from my trip, Newspro has done it's work and downloaded everything it could.

So in short:
What do I need to configure so that Newspro downloads everything from incomplete files..and does it keep a lookout if files become complete after it has been downloaded? (if possible mention the options in Newspro I need to click as there are so many of them )

I need this info asap...

Many thanks in advance

Aleks

If I understand you correctly, you only need to create a watch filter (if you're looking for specific posts), apply that to whatever newsgroups you need to, and set it up to pull/watch/save headers every 'xx" minutes.

My understanding of NP is that once all parts of a message are downloaded, it is saved, however long it takes for the completion. I know with PAR2 you don't need the entire mesage, but I believe saving the incomplete message is a manual task, which can't be automated.
