Deleting Headers

Post by johnd »

If you have been using a different news server previously, you will need to download a new list of newsgroups from our servers. For any groups you have previously downloaded headers, you should delete all the old headers, and download new ones. Unsubscribing and then subscribing again, will usually accomplish this

What does this mean and how is it accomplished??

I'm quite sure this is only valid for reading text newsgroups, and not for binary downloads using NZBs (like SABnzbd)

So IMHO you can ignore this.

I believe we covered this on IRC last night. What you were seeing were the Message ID's, which don't indicate where you're downloading from. Your issue was with disk errors preventing anything from completing.
