Re: Still searching for a better Solution

I thought that BNR3 over came the problem of the big movie groups. In the newsgroup where you go to refresh if you use the pop down menu you do have the options 
Get New headers only
Get now and missing headers   (This is the one you should use)
Get all headers again

Also in the groups properties if you set Download at most to 200,000 headers which should get you the current first and anything else that makes the 200,000


I have found nzb files to be the best for me as I don't have to download so many headers. Suggest that you work out what movies you want and do a search on either

Newzleech   www.newzleech.com
binsearch     www.binsearch.info         you can actually browse the groups as well

I am currently using alt.binz which is very easy to use and has many of the features that BNR2 has plus a few extras.  It also checks the par files so you don't download more than you have too      www.altbinz.net

Everything above is free.

I also use binsearch the most for nzb files, but to get the most out of it you have pay for the service. Also to join you now have to be recommened by a friend. But it is well worth the effort.

What problems are you having with nzb files?

            In previous messages I have noted that BNR2 is unstable if more than

500-600 thousand new

headers are downloaded at one time. I may not know what I want to

download until after I look at the messages. If I use NZB files than I

would not have to download as many headers. I have been using Xnews

these last few years. A very good program except it is really not

designed to handled multiple connections. I like the shortcuts and

multiple connections that BNR2 offer. I just wish it had the ability to

download say 200,000 messages at a time and then when I hit refresh it

would retrive the next block of OLDER MESSAGES instead of only

downloading new messages. I have tried to explain how Xnews accomplishes

this. Xnews has the ability to download a set "n" number of

messages to retrieve either by startating at the beginning (the most

earliest dates) of messages or closer to the ending amout of

headers(that are represented by the latest dates). Here is a link that I

think helps explains what I am trying to

accomplish:http://www.geocitie s.com/d4vidb/ open_sp.gif

<http://www.geocitie s.com/d4vidb/ open_sp.gif>  . The only thing that I

have been able to find is after the intial download of messages is

a refresh option that ONLY DOWNLOADS NEW HEADERS.  I know I have read

and re-read the manual several times. I tried the kill/want filters and

the only thing that was accomplished is that it highlighted those

messages but did not filter out the other messages I did not need.  BNR2

may not have this ability. I am still working within it's limitations

but it would be a more productive product.
