Problem Description: Exceeded download Limit Function flags wrong servers as exceeded. I have two accounts with the same service provider (Giganews) and one account with a third. The two accounts with giganews have different download limits and login/passwords. When one of the giganews accounts reports that it has exceeded its download limit both giganews accounts are flagged as overlimit. The third account is not flagged. When I disable the Exceeded download limit feature, then one of the giganews accounts starts working again. That is a troublesome solution because the other giganews account really is overlimit and ue tries to download from it and can’t. The only resolution is to completely disable the overlimit accounts Please fix!
Also I'd like to include a feature request if you can. See bottom. Still the best newsreader out there. thanks!
version of ue: 1.1.7
OS: windows xp
Steps to reproduce:
1. Setup two accounts with an NNTP server (the server DNS names are different e.g. newsgroups.comcast.net & news.giganews.com)
2. Setup the exceeded download limit on the properties->general tab
3. force one of the accounts to report download limit exceeded
Result: Both accounts flagged as over limit.
Feature Request: Some method of seeing the actual response from the nntp server. I have to telnet to the nntp server to see what the response is. It would be useful to be able to log the NNTP error responses to a file or see them somehow in the UI.
Exceeded download Limit Function flags wrong servers
i cannot think how it is possible.
try to check your settings.
maybe it is provider bug if you have several accounts with them?
what i did now i added two news.microsoft.com servers, the second one with zero tasks, set download limit expression to no*such*article and tried to download an article from a binary newsgroup which is not on the microsoft server.
the server which was tried showed it reached download limit (red clock on the server icon), the server with zero tasks remained unaffected.
you can try it yourself.
it cannot be that one account influence another account, for ue these are totally different servers, it doesn't use names anywhere to change server state.
