Auto increment retention period for server

Post by CageWarriorUK »

Hopefully a nice simple one

On the server details there is a static retention time, with my usenet provider, every day this increases by one.
can we have a tickbox to auto increment the retention period ? so I don't have to manually increase it.

Thanks for listening

Why don't you leave the retention out?

I didn't know that was an option, I thought it was required.
I will try that, Thanks for the suggestion.

The wiki (reachable through the Help function) tries to explain things.
The gist that you only ever should set a retention time if you have multiple servers
where one has a much lower retention time that the other(s).
Setting a retention time will prevent SABnzbd from wasting time
to get articles from a server that cannot have them.
