Hiya,

I'm getting the following error message every time I download headers from UsenetServer.com. It happens with all groups and the number between the :'s changes but the last number does not (different for each group but stays constant for that group).

Code: Select all

[03/03 07:56:04]  ERROR Downloader:  Protocol Exception Server:UsenetServer Server Reports bogus MaxSpool > MaxGroup Numbers :523929:4699236430 - alt.binaries.tv  UsenetServer


This seems like a server side issue, can you confirm? Almost forgot, I'm on b5142.

Thanks,

Jim

Same here with 6.82

It's ether a server problem or you need to reset or purge the group because the server changed their group numbering.

First thing I'd try is right click the group "Post Storage/Use Download Age" then set a short download age like 3 and download headers normally.

If that doesn't work, I'd right click, "Post Storage/Delete Stored Posts" and then try downloading headers again.

If that doesn't work, it's probably a server problem so the server is reporting the wrong group ranges.

I tried all of those and I still get the error message. Looks like a server problem, I'll see if I can find a way to contact UsenetServer.com.

Though it's odd that bw909 is having the same issue with what looks like a different host.

Thanks for the quick reply and help!

I'll take another look. I'm seeing it on one of my groups on usenetserver.

The issue has disappeared, I'm betting it was a server side issue.

In my case it seemed intermittent too.

No more errors here either.
