Download queue not reverting to next priority server....
Download queue not reverting to next priority server....
Hello, I just signed up for NewsFeeds. I've set everything up per their instructions on the newsfeeds website, but while downloading, for instance, from the exe-east server, when that limit was reached, News Pro just stopped downloading, give errors about max DL met and too many attempts. I thought that when a server was maxed out, it was supposed to revert to the next available server, IE, exe-west to continue downloading from the queue. Thank you.

You should see if the articles are available elsewhere. The specialty servers have longer retention and sometimes articles are available only in one place.
Also ensure that the server in question isn't at a higher priority than the other Newsfeeds servers or is not Strict.

set non-zero value in properties->general, exceeding download limit, suspend server for (set it to 30 min).
if you want newspro to use lower-priority servers in any case when download limit has been reached ensure properties->general, ignore priorities for maxed servers is checked (it is default);
to check on what servers an article can be found - press F2 on the header (the same as context menu->properties)
to try servers even when they don't have headers in question listed - set them as msg-id direct in properties->servers (usually then one also doesn't download headers from them).
it should be clear that servers may not have identical content, articles may be on some servers but be absent on others.
