Re: Search service is down

Is it working currently?

What is the error? The search appears to be running here. Did you try to reset the search configuration in edit menu->properties->search/import?

One server was down on Friday I think, but I adjusted the configuration and it was running on one server for about 12 hours.

Re: xpost?

It took some time, as I was handling the server side. You can download the version which handles this here: http://www.usenetexplorer.com/temp/ue582i.rar The option edit menu->articles->handle known obfuscated downloads should be checked, it is the default. If you encounter this again let me know.

Re: Recover lost key

Ah, it is wrong, I changed it when the other server was down.

Re: External access

It could be easier to improve the download function, if anything is needed.

The connection is encrypted with a part of the serial using the current search configuration which sometimes may change.

The search protocol also changed requiring a new client release, but not lately.

Re: Search Down

You can try to reset the search service configuration in edit menu->properties->search/import. But it should be automatic, what error do you get? If you restricted ports, the server has been upgraded and the port range is now wider. If the issue persists, contact me through email, we'll check if it ...

Re: Re:retention

the search service is now working at full retention, it is better than before even with the remaining mid range retention gap for some groups as the prior retention was less than full 5250 days. the mid-gap will be filled maybe after 24 hours (but i think in those years most posts which were cryptic...

Re: Re:retention

As far as I can see there is no loss of header data, I'm just copying it first before trying anything else as for some of data I have only one copy on another server. There was backup disk, but it was plugged in when the server was compromised. The issue is unlikely to happen again, as the server rd...

One server was down for several hours and I wasn't monitoring it at the time, it was fixed back then.

Re: Another new obfuscation method for unpacked files?

It is just file named like that, if to have an option to rename files after the nzb file it is not clear if it will be useful for all cases, the question is when to rename and not to rename.

Re: change location of the download folder

The download folders are defined in edit menu->properties->newsgroups, e.g. click the "Default" entry, click "browse" to change the default folder.

Unrar folders are set in edit menu->properties->save/unpack, unpack, unrar.
