Glad you got it fixed. Other way is to "Force Exist" a group and then you
will be able to click on it and "Reload Groups", or turn off the group cmd
and then the servers (If they can run without that cmd) dont care about
groups, but they must be set for MSGID only all the way.

Sounded like something just got damaged in BNR's database, or a problem
with the .nzb file something that can often happen with some indexing
sites.

I have stopped using one site altogther because they had some problem and
I kept getting missing areas like you said with this...

 (Beta)): Exception Access violation at address 005159CF in module 'BNR3.exe'. Read of address 07DE8000 in ReadNZBFile | </file> tag!
 (Beta)): Exception Access violation at address 005159CF in module 'BNR3.exe'. Read of address 07DE8000 in ReadNZBFile | <file> tag!
 (Beta)): Exception Access violation at address 005159CF in module 'BNR3.exe'. Read of address 04824000 in ReadNZBFile | </file> tag!

in the logs, I go to another site and they are fine.

When did you last do a vac (SQL vacuum cmd) on the database ?
Might be worth doing so, I do it every few months with the .bat files I
have posted to this group and they keep the DB clean and tight, here is
one again put into txt file save and call/re-name "zz-Vac & Frg.bat" you
need the sqLite.exe file and Contig.exe (only if you want to de-frag the
files after)...

http://forum.sysinternals.com/topic10769.html

file start---
pause
sqlite msgdb.bnr "vacuum;"
sqlite grpdb.bnr "vacuum;"


sqlite msgdb.bnr "pragma integrity_check;"
sqlite grpdb.bnr "pragma integrity_check;"


pause
contig *.* -v
pause
---file end

Hope this can be of some help.
