Re: Search times out with communication errors

When using the latest version you can check "Check for updates" and uncheck "Check for minor updates", so the letter updates will be totally skipped. Those check for updates options are relatively recent addition, but they already work as expected. As to the release notes regardi...

Re: Bug in import nzb

In the upcoming v7.8.3d it will display proper warnings, as of now it presumes it always opened the nzb file, but in this case of course it doesn't happen, since the file name supplied by the system is different from the actual file name so it is useless.

Re: Search times out with communication errors

It is an up-to-date version for registered users, many latest version changes which are not entirely new features make it to the up-to-date versions even if they are not mere bug fixes, because it also indirectly helps to keep the latest version more reliable. https://www.usenetexplorer.com/download...

Re: v7.8.3c is available... but

Try to clear the browser cache, those letter updates have the same file name. Google chrome maybe works correctly, at least I didn't notice a persistent problem.

Re: Bug in import nzb

is it possible to avoid nzb names with unicode characters? usenet itself doesn't support unicode. since if not to compile with unicode enabled it replaces unicode characters with ? (ascii 63 question sign), so when you click the file it basically gets the wrong name, cannot open the file which cause...

Re: A problem with the current update

I've revised the update code further, so it hopefully always directs to the most relevant download depending on the update settings.

The latest version can be left as it is since the changes matter only in the case of its future updates.

Re: A problem with the current update

I've just fixed it. It has something to do with the up-to-date releases. v5.9x (orders back to 2005, the arrangement since around two years ago) downloaded the .zip file, so I only uploaded v7.7c zip files, but the v7.7 code redirected to the executable file extractor. Now I compiled and uploaded bo...

Re: 7.6.7d keeps downloading

The minor version was accidentally left from the previous version at the check for updates webpage, it will now alert correctly.

Re: The checkbox on delete history is not working

Now I replaced v7.6 as well it will show at least 7.6b in help menu->about (the current download), no new or minor version notification, just redownload it manually. For those user downloads otherwise no change, but there is also a master version compilation to manage the search service (for my own ...

Re: The checkbox on delete history is not working

The item order on exit didn't correspond to the order in the delete history dialog, so there is shift by 2 starting after the "Quick filter: Articles" entry (but better not to use it since the order on exit will be fixed), the issue was introduced when adding newznab quick filter bar. I fi...

Re: Feature request: on the fly Par & Unrar

It would be interesting to add incremental un7z, logically it doesn't need to know all parts in advance, but the 7z code is written in such a way that it checks the total size first and the cavalier approach to bypass that didn't work, so I thought better to roll back the initial plan and add only i...

Re: The checkbox on delete history is not working

Because I missed your post, I only replied to a forum post on Oct 6 and I didn't notice that there were older posts maybe because I was too busy at the time. I'll check it out and reply here.

Re: controlling how far back in time??

This part was written many years ago of course. In edit menu->properties->newsgroups you can set retention and last headers per group. E.g. if you set retention to 500 days, the oldest header will be 500 days (unless to set let all incoming headers through in properties->general) and the rest will b...
