Search feature

03 Oct 23: One server was relocated, the server currently doesn't have a public IP address since in the meantime it is running on starlink. I wrote some additional tunnel code running separately to handle this. When the server is engaged the connection is 5600+ days uniform (since around 24 July 2008). In the unlikely case I disengaged the server because of some problem the retention is 1200-3800 days depending on newsgroup. If you experience any issue please let me know.

29 Nov 23: Because of encrypted and obfuscated posts flood mass posted by a few nzb indexing websites using usenet servers as private storage for their members to download the posts - the situation with the content is pretty chaotic since their purpose is to post in such a way, so users must use their website exclusively, when the website disappears - the encrypted posts just eat usenet providers' hard disk space uselessly. If you can't find something specific please let me know at alexbirj at gmail dot com what exactly you can't find for me to check how it is possible to retain the posts. Non-obfuscated posts shouldn't be affected at all, let me know if you notice anything missing.

29 Nov 23: The search protocol had to be upgraded to extend 3 byte (16M+) limit on the server side for number of sets per instance, so at least the version 5.8.3 is needed to access it, otherwise should be no any difference.

I get the message... Search Failed Connection was unexpectedly closed by the server.

I haven't used search in a week or two so don't know if this is a known problem. I can get headers and d/load fine any idea why this is happening

edit:
forum related; I received an internal server error and persumed this post wasn't posted, went back a page, clicked the post button again and saw two copies of my post, wanted to delete the last one, but couldn't because there was already a reply.
A moderator might want to delete this edited post, or

"A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond"

it just retrieves standard error messages from the system by error code, if it is too long it is cut, you can find the rest through web search.

it seems the box it comes in is a bit too narrow.
Thanks for the reply though.
