If you use Astraweb you can avoid problems by configuring server redundancy, such as adding the SSL or EU server as a backup to the non-SSL or US server.

I'm downloading a lot of posts that have 4MB article size and 400MB RAR size.  The poster claims this is the future of Usenet. I don't have enough memory.  Memory article cache is 0 and I use disk cache. I don't enjoy using my computer during the assembly phase of the 400MB RAR's even when the cache...

Would it be a lot of work to change it so a primary thread waits for the fill thread to complete?

Is it a bad idea to put the cache, temporary or completed folder on a USB flash memory stick?  Why?  Because the flash memory wears out with heavy use and the sticks are expensive?

The two articles were logged by Easynews as corrupted and the public logs are found on their site.  The articles were damaged by a bug in the software that Hitnews is using and it happened at the time of posting, so no server anywhere has good copies.  This particlar bug was killed by the software d...

I expected that a change would require a lot of re-coding but thought I'd ask anyway. I should have explained that the client wouldn't need to close unused connections, because they'll timeout by the fill server; usually after 300 seconds of inactivity. After the primary server passes a task to the ...

I've been testing a server configuration with the latest version 0.4.5 The primary server has spotty completion and I have configured 1 connection for it. The fill server has excellent completion and allows unlimited connections, or at least I haven't found the connection limit. On a 430 error the d...

Thanks.  Here is the simplified article trace for : ::INFO::[downloader] Thread 1@newsfarm.atl.highwinds-media.com:119: fetching ::INFO::[downloader] Thread 1@newsfarm.atl.highwinds-media.com:119: done ::INFO::[decoder] Decoding ::WARNING::[decoder] Badly formed yEnc article in ::DEBUG::[trylist] Ap...

Wouldn't any article that is missing a yend also fail CRC?  If ypart is found but pcrc32 not found, wouldn't that article fail CRC?  If so, what would be the need to check for a yend?  Failed CRC would be the error to try a fill server.  Currently, if the article has a ypart and yend but fails CRC, ...

You could look at: Newzbin NB32 ID: dbzka part014.rar (193/201) Transit news server corruption:  Probably at !xs4all!ramfeed1.eweka.nl! Bad on newsfarm.atl.highwinds-media.com (us.usenet-news.net) Bad on news.newsreader.com ...and my ISP server, news.qwest.net Probably bad on Usenetserver and Newsho...

I found out why this is happening.  There are some malformed yEnc articles being transmitted around Usenet.  Some malformed articles have =ybegin but no =yend in the body.  SABnzbd downloads, attempts to decode, does not find a =yend and tosses the article.  It does this whether or not the use of fi...

The four lines in the log excerpt above are for the same article.  The problem is that sometimes SABnzbd downloads articles and then loses them.  Why does that happen?

Is there anything I can do to minimize skipped article writes?  They can be single articles in a file, or two in succession.  In the log entries below, I have replaced non-essential data with ellipses.  I am using 0.3.4 with no memory cache.  I have plenty of disk space. SABnzbd+ 0.3.4 cache_limit =...

What was the verdict based on the evidence?
