Since i use nzb files with the #import group i have two problems.

1. some files are saved, and somo no. I dont know exactly why, but it seems where in the first atempt not are all the parts, and when retry failed articles download and complete the file, it dont save

2. Per exemple, i download the nzb for a group (the same of the articles i want to download. I open the nzb files. The files that in this moment no are complete (only a few parts in the group), NEVER download all the parts, only the parts presents in the moment i open the nzb file. The files complete in this moment, or the files no present (but present more later, in the retry of failed articles) download ok, but no the files no complete in the first moment.

Maybe somebody can help me, or maybe it was a problem of Newspro (version 3.74)

Thanks

To determine if it's a problem with Newspro or not, do you get the same behavior with any other newsreader that supports nzb files?

NZB files are not the end, just a means to an end. It is quite possible that some of the articles referred to by the message-ids in the nzb are not on your servers. Do you use a premium news server? I would say more info is required.

On the first question, one thing to try is to run an external decoder on the directory containing the npr parts to see if it can decode and join them. UUD32 is very good in this regard. http://my.execpc.com/~mspankus/

there is no possible cause in .nzb files themselves why newspro won't download them now but will download them later.

in the error pane you should see the error returned by the server (e.g. 'no such article' means that the server doesn't have the article at the moment, maybe it hasn't propagate yet or expired).

if you see other errors, like you exceeded the maximal number of connections to the server - you should reduce the number; to handle some temporary error conditions you can increase the number of retries for the server and to make the specific error retriable in properties->general.

in short if newspro is able to download bodies of imported headers later - it must be a server problem or wrong server settings (too many connections).
