I have tried searching use the search service bar for newzbin (I have a subscription and have entered my username & password). I receive the error: Search failed with error: ERR_BAD_GROUP. I have tried "Everything" & "Apps" option. There are no entries in the group pull down box. What am I doing wrong?

I have the same.

Try to look for strings without spaces.

For example: "test" and then look into the import group.


so, no "test this" because this will gave the error. Rather pitty i say, but it looks like it cannot handle spaces.

Also i found out you cannot use the # character which sometimes is used for giving the volume number of a DVD. so for example "test#2"will fail.

unfortunately this can lead to a lot of found files which you have remove afterwards, or you have to search in the results you get.

you can type in the group name manually, or you can select to use all newsgroups.

i'll publish a fix, the newzbin code i wrote i think in january, i tested thoroughly the internals, but it seems few trivial issues left.
