I tried Internet search & download, Newsbin refuses to work

Postby Calahan » Fri Dec 12, 2025 8:29 am

I'm on 6.91RC3 - Build: 5855 (RC4 has an error which seems to be fixed in the next version, which doesn't exist so far).

I saw that I have 1 free Internet search in Newsbin. I don't have a subscription, but I thought it's for trying out how it works.
Newsbin found several files, I marked 12 of them and clicked on download. Then I was informed, that I need to have a subscription.

So far, so good... But then I downloaded NZB files from another source and if I try to send any of those
files to Newsbin, Newsbin hangs and doesn't work anymore. Header downloads are stalling, other NZB files are
loaded in the download list but Newsbin does nothing. I have to delete the download list and have to restart
Newsbin. Then Header download and importing other NZB files is working agein.

If I send any of the NZB files which contents I was searching with internet search and tried to download,
Newsbin refuses to work. It doesn't download anything. I have to empty the download list and have to restart Newsbin.

I can understand that you doesn't want anyone to use the feature and make sure that found files with the internet
search can not be downloaded. But these NZB files are from another source! I don't want to install another usenet client,
only for those 12 NZB files. What can I do, so Newsbin downloads my NZB files, which it is blocking at the moment?

Update: More and more NZB files are being loaded into the Download Files tab, but only the PAR2 file is downloaded.
All other files, RAR files and the rest of the PAR2 files are paused. Never had this before. It started when I tried the downloads
from the internet search. :(

I really don't know why this happens. I don't want to do a clean install. It seems like it's a virus which Newsbin was infected with. :(
I just tried to restart Newsbin. The paused files remain paused and the header download doesn't work anymore either.
The groups, which should be updated, are shown in the download tab and nothing happens. Newsbin refuses to work.
Debug log shows nothing special. :(
