Gravity, while it deals with Yenc stuff as part of the processing ( at least my installed version) doesn't handle split stuff too well, if there is a part missing It stops downloading the set at that point so if using PAR2 recovery, you will probably need IE, or something similar to get the remainder - add _6 or the underscore followed by any other number at the end of the filename, before the type indication to get the multiple bits processed.
Also - Gravity doesn't like running out of space for the control files Configuration options to consider (depending on the groups accessed) stop if less than 500MB space On error use new filename ( it will append the _2 _3 etc.) Mark as read only on the selected group, not on all crossposts Only download and store headers Set initial group header load at 9990 And - before you start loading group headers in bulk, take a backup of your setup CTRL I gets the panel of outstanding items to be got Do expect significant pauses in apparent processing if you open a group where you have in excess of (approx) 250000 headers At 8Mb Broadband, expect Gravity to be able to use most of the power of a 2GHz 1 drive system ( that's if you are downloading bulk headers and doing lots of body downloads as well) Or does anybody contest the above JimB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Lominac" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 07, 2005 11:39 PM Subject: Re: News Reader > Ooops...I read too hastily.
