Usenet Explorer

Hi.

I've 2 usenet-servers.
I pay Easynews each month.
I've bought at Astraweb a block 180GB with one payment.

My intention: if Easynews has "empty-bodies" (cannot deliver data) than UE switches to Astraweb for download.
Astraweb is only a "back-up" server.

I configure the 2 servers as follow:
Easynews as main-sever .. Preference: Normal
Astraweb as a backup-server .. Preference: Low

Is it right?

Where must I see to know how many data UE has downloaded from each server?
Thank you.

also check "strict" for astraweb or both, otherwise if there are tasks slots available the lower priority server still will be used.

you can see at task manager the running tasks pane to the right of the "articles" pane, routinely you won't see astraweb used there then.
