If you still have GrabIt installed, try it with the GrabIt search. If that gives the same result, then it has something to do with your ISP at home. Did you also check what group your files are in? Perhaps your USP has a lower limit on that particular group. Best solution to try is see if the files fail to download, then export them to NZB and import them into Grabit. If that fails aswell, then it's the group.

I am back home and I have my desktop and laptop connected to my home network.

I can download articles older than 50 days on my laptop but not on my desktop pc. (???)

They both have windows XP Pro. The problem have to be a setting in Windows XP!

Any clue?

I had been having this issue but I couldn't download anything older than 30 days. I have now solved this issue. A poster further up mentioned that in older versions of newsleecher you would set the retention in the server setup dialog. Newer versions of newleecher don't ask for this, but must still reference it somewhere. When I originally setup newsleecher with an old version a long time ago I must have set the retention to 30 because that is what my provider offered. I have updated newsleecher with each new version released so my settings have been kept, but as stated you no longer get the option to set the retention in the server setup screen. My provider now others 101 days retention but I could never download articles that old.

Doing what was mentioned and creating a new server connection with a different nickname, and using that instead of the original has now solved the issue, I can download articles upto 101 days old. I too also tried other apps and they would download upto 101 so was also baffled.

It is a problem with newsleecher still somewhere referencing the server retention if it was set in an earlier version of newsleecher.

Oh boy... it works now.

I installed an older version of newsleecher (http://www.newsleecher.com/old/) and then reinstalled the latest newsleecher and i can download articles 105 days old!

Wonderful!

Thanks for your help Very Happy
