PC Crashed! Headers OK, lost unsaved files and download queu

Post by pdrake »

Hi all!

I had a strange experience! My PC crashed and although the headers were OK after restarting, I lost all download queue and unsaved downloaded files.

I had the save all every 5 minuted enabled.

Any ideas what could be wrong and how I can get back my DL list and unsaved mp3s?

Thanks!

To get your unsaved downloaded files:

- right-click on "newsgroups" in the workspace.
- select advanced->load (this will headers data for ALL groups)
- click on the "global view" icon on the toolbar - this is the one that looks like a folder with a magnifying glass ontop of it. (this will show all of the headers you have in your database for all groups.)
- On the quickfilter bar, check the box for "body" - NOT "^body." (this will show all articles that have their bodies downloaded.)

Now, you should be able to see all of the stuff you have downloaded by not saved.

*Note - Some of these steps might take a while depending on your computer's performance - be patient and don't go click-crazy while it's busy! ;)

Once you have all of your articles with bodies displayed, I recommend saving/deleting any bodies that you don't, for whatever reason, want to retain in UE itself.

As for your download queue, once you have saved/deleted the bodies as described above, DO NOT ClOSE the global view, UN-Check "bodies," and check "queue" one the quickfilter bar. If the files that you were waiting to download aren't marked, I don't think you can get your queue back - maybe others know something I don't. :?:

Hope this helps, and good luck!
