Well, there is automatic get headers, where you set it to get new headers at a defined interval. If you were going to be away for a day you could set it to get new headers every hour or so. Just turn each group On that you want to have this work for. If you're away you won't notice the machine slowd...

You could try using Properties > Tasks and set an overload limit to prevent more headers from coming in than your system is able to process.

It appears the older version of the .NET framework isn't installed on my computer after all, the newer version uninstalled it so the folder is there but it's only got one or two left over files in it. I notice with the latest version of NPDL Manager there is the option 'Alternate row color'. It is d...

Which ones are giving the problems? I know some of the east/west versions have varying levels of retention, but for recent files I see them appearing on most all servers that carry the group.

The newsgroup info listed for each article within NewsPro relies on where you have retrieved headers from. Meaning if you download headers for alt.binaries.j00.sux0r and there's a new header in there, NewsPro will show only that newsgroup name for the location. If you then download headers from alt....

I'm running WindowsXP. I don't see any log file, but the path is C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/ and two folders are inside it: v1.0.3705 and v1.1.4322

I just installed the framework yesterday from a file I downloaded the day before.

It must just be something on my system causing a problem. I got the file down to 1.62MB, but when I open it the same nothingness happens.

Am I doing something wrong or is there a limit on the size of the SavedAttachments file?

I use Open on the file but nothing seems to happen.

The file is apparently 17.4MB.

The articles will be retried as many times as each server permits. Once a server exhausts its retries the article task will move to another server. If all servers don't have the article then it will Abort entirely. NewsPro will retry articles that failed (Aborted) every X number of minutes as define...

XPAT is a limited functionality server-side command, so there isn't really much flexibility. When issuing the command the server processes it the same regardless of what you already have. NewsPro can do date limitations to stop it from showing older headers, but it still goes through all the same pr...

It processes the list from oldest headers to newest, so if the group has many total articles then showing deleted headers might take a few moments to complete.

Headers aren't too trivial an issue since once you obtain new headers you won't re-download them if you issue get new headers again. To download a file again will do just that: download the file again. But for headers if you get new headers two hours ago then it shouldn't be a big deal if you forget...

I have a filter that shows only new headers that I use as the initial filter on my text groups. That way I can easily see which articles are new and they disappear from my list after I read them and delete the body.

And if there is a question mark you can see the cause by checking the Error pane in the Task Manager. One or more of your servers could be giving problems.
