I've been a *longtime* user of UBH, and love it to death. It's
probably one of the best and most capable programs for Usenet binary
downloads I've ever used, and that's saying something. :)
Anyway, I thought I'd dabble in the new 3.x version, since it looked
interesting. Unfortunately the documentation is a little sparse. I
have the MySQL server going, I have all the dependencies (or so it
seems) but I was wondering if someone could send me a quick little
step-by-step quick-start?
Here's what I've done--tell me what I'm missing.
1. Built a .ubhrc with the variables: NNTPSERVER, NEWSRCNAME, DATADIR,
MULTI_EXT, SINGLE_EXT
2. Built a .newsrc with a single newsgroup followed by a single colon
and a newline.
2.5 Built the SQL tables/etc with the sql from the install directory.
Modified them to match the appropriate newsserver, newsgroup, etc
information, stripped out the default values.
3. Ran "./ubhcatalog" to retrieve the list of headers and it appears
to have pushed them into the MySQL database.
4. Ran ./ubhmark to try to mark them all as UNREAD.
5. Ran ./ubh -A -G news.group.blah
... but when it gets to the part where it says it's about to deal with
the single and multi-parts, it just immediately prints out a little
status line, "0 bytes" etc etc and exits without actually having
downloaded anything from the news server.
What am I missing again?
Thanks for your time.
