After downloading for a few days I ran out of space and it paused itself. I exited NL and cleared up some space. Today when I opened it, NL lost my entire queue!

any way to specify a blacklist of newgroups or a filter to not include results from certain newgroups when using supersearch?

Sorry I'm German this text was translated with Google.
Until yesterday, I've used the NL 5 Beta 6 with no problems.
Yesterday I Had then NL 5 Beta 7 installed and I get the message that my license has expired.
Enter the experiment with the license again unsuccessful.
Have then the NL version 5 beta 6 installed again and the license has been accepted again.
Then try again to install the NL 5 Beta 7 mistakes again.
I've read anywhere that I need for the NL 5 Beta7 a new license.

Um use Win7 Ultimate

Selecting "Ignore Poster" gave me:
Thread Exception #8177 - Please Report to Author and Restart Newsleecher <Argument out of range>

Note that Ignore Poster has been throwing me asserts as of Beta 6. My list is probably a couple hundred long, and about 1 month ago, I had to wipe out half of the list just to get the dialog to come up. I haven't used the feature much since 1 month ago, but this exception is symptomatic of having a large list.

NL freezes very often with a large queue.
After each download file RnE checks the whole queue for things to repair. The queue contains 58000 articles.
I think it would be a good idea to let RnE only checks the file set the last download file belongs too.
When MyMovie1.r09 has been downloaded it's rarely useful to check if that file completes filesets MyMovie2 .... MyMovie999
This is usually only needed when the downloads contain misnamed files.
(which QuickPAR handles far better BTW)

So I would like an an extra button under the RnE that that allows me to check/uncheck the re-verification of the whole queue after each download file.

I have this exact same problem, beta 7 says my key expired before the release of this new version. I purchased another year just to be sure, still doesn't work. Back to beta 6. I deleted all data files and still a no-go. Any assistance is appreciated.

Is there a way to go back to the previous groups listing on the Articles tab? The new dropdown box is so cumbersome to that this beta is unusable for anyone with more than a couple groups.

Where the SuperSearch It button is now used to be a pair of arrows that opened up the groups list with checkboxes to allow you to open multiple groups in a merged window. Now there is only a dropbox that shows the groups and you either choose a single group or an entire group heading with no way to collapse the list.

Since you refuse to compile for 64-bit, opening too many groups easily consumes more than 2GB of memory and the program halts spectacularly with disastrous results the next time it's opened after force closing (all articles downloaded in the previous session are put right back in the queue and downloaded again). I had to reduce the number of days retention due to the lack of the program's ability to manage memory as some singular groups are too large now with current server retentions.

Adding SuperSearch It may turn out to be a great thing...but ADD it and don't replace something that was working fine and completely not related.

Not sure this is the right place to comment. I love the Extraction manager, very usefull for the many shows i'm watching.
It takes a lot of work to fill it but it is totally worth it. Is there a possibility for an import/export feature of the list?

RnE is causing me problems with this latest beta version.

When I have RnE disabled, everything works as expected in previous versions. However, once RnE is enabled, the following is observed:

1) The downloads of all files is considerably slower than normal
2) Every so often the program pauses with a message about "catching up"
3) None of the RnE programs are repairing
4) Everything else on the computer is going sluggish (and on an i7 that's saying something!)
