Can I download headers for the last 14 days only?

Postby steevio » Mon Jul 18, 2011 8:31 am

Hi

I have just upgraded to v6 and the download headers option is trying to download 292,120,830 headers from one group and I have 20 other groups of a similar size too.
This is going to take a long time. :(
I only really need the last 14 days of headers. How can I reduce this download now it has started?

Set the "Download age" to 14. Then search for and delete every "Range.db3" in the Newsbin data folder. This will make it download just 14 days. You can also do it from within Newsbin by, selecting the groups, right clicking and picking "Post Storage\Delete Stored Posts". That'll reset it too.
