Force Dowload of Bad Message-Id Articles

Hi,

I'm trying to download a bunch of multi-part binaries and I'm getting occasional "NewsPro - Bad message-id in the retrieved article (200200)" errors for some parts. Which means that it never combines and saves the binary.

Is there a way to 'force' the download of these missing parts and ignore this error.

Cheers.

I don't know. It wouldn't do any good anyway. You'd just have a corrupt download.

Edit: I get this error once in a while too. I assume what happens here is that NewsPro requests an article by Message-ID, but the the article the server sends back in reply to that request does not contain that Message-ID, and so NewsPro rightfully issues an error message, because the returned article is bogus. It's a server problem, not a client problem.
