Please could someone who uses Newspro with UNS answer some of my questions, I currently have 9 servers for UNS listed - and have got it working, sort of.....
My questions are:
1. What do the different values for retention mean - i.e. 1, 1-5, Natural etc.
2. What is the difference between GET HEADERS and RESCAN?
3. Can I view my pending download tasks in a window, ad re-order them if I want?
TIA
Help with understanding retention settings
i just answer shortly:
retention - natural - as articles expire on servers, 1 - articles posted within last 24 hours, 1-5 - posted within last 5 days.
get headers just downloads newest headers and removes oldest expired headers, rescan also checks the rest and downloads/removes headers in the middle of the header list, it takes somewhat longer although faster than download everything again.
you can rearrange pending tasks through changing prioirities, to download something faster just remark for download without cancelling with higher prioirity.
