NewsPro and Usenetserver

rveupen · Post by **rveupen** » Thu Dec 04, 2003 9:42 pm

I cannot seem to get NewsPro to work with Xpat. This is what i did:

Added a newsgroup (manually) ##alt.binaries.x
news.usenetserver.com was added as server.
Right clicked on ##alt.binaries.x and chose Rescan Headers
In new windows I filled in a wildcard *dev-gs*.
Added alt.binaries.x as newsgroup.
Clicked on Start and the headers started pouring in.
Selected the Headers i wanted and got a error message 423 No such article in group?????

What am i doing wrong?
Any help will be highly appreciated.

If i use Astraweb as server then things go fine!

It could be that UseNetServer still has the same problem that users reported a long time ago where they don't keep an index of MessageIDs, so when you do an XPAT you get all of these results but then when you try to retrieve the MessageID for the articles you want the server can't find them at all. With a regular group it is no problem because the group is open and items can be retrieved by ArticleID.

All of the connection issues have been resolved at this time. There should not be any incomplete posts due to the issues this morning. During our downtown, we reconfigured our front-ends to accept 'message ID' downloading for all new posts. All old posts will not be able to be downloaded via 'message ID'. If you are having any issues please contact us at support@usenetserver.com
