Latest beta a waste of time

[chromium]

Fix the real issues.

- Incompletes with no error reported in log.
- No error reported when disk space empty.
- CRC checking.

Just fix the problems related to downloading files, man, who cares about virtual groups etc if the bloody thing won't download files reliably?

I'm still using NZB-O-Matic, much more reliable than Newsleecher.

It is a Beta, and it works perfectly for me also. Beta 3 (i think) was to get the registy bug fixed. I'm glad Spiril releases updates the way he does instead of us having to wait months for bugs he could fix sooner

i do not have any problems with my downloads and I download 30-40gig a day. Now and then I will have a few incomplete files, but its rare.

I'm using the latest beta and I am not experiencing any of the issues that you describe.

I do not have problems with file corruption and I download a lot of info almost daily. I would be taking a look at my PC or my Internet link if 18 out of 20 were bad. If it was a program problem, we all would have it and be screaming. You hear anything..?? I don't

Same here, no problems at all DLing and I download a good 10G/day. NL even tells you which files are incomplete. Plus there are par files for this very reason. Sometimes the newsgroup server will say a certain file is 50,000,000 but ends up being 47,894,000 and that isn't NLs fault. This usually occurs when your newshosting provider's retention is close to the age of the file and starts dropping off parts. I'd complain to my hosting provider, not the client application.

I believe this is a valid complaint, just not a problem for all of us. I don't have any problems either.

Tha fact that you are not having problems when others are, means little, if anything.

We all vary slightly, if not dramatically what we download. Therefore different users are going to have a different experience than others.

The point is to call out what doesn't work. This is how problems get identified.

Also bashing Spiril or Newsleecher has little, again if any, impact.

What should count is clear descriptive posts of , as exactly as possible, what happens when NL fails.

And a plea here or there requesting attention to crippling problems should be considered reasonable.

I've been posting in the sticky on incomplete downloads for months. This has been a problem since I first bought Newsleecher over a year ago, I'm not the only one, check the sticky.
My net connection is fine, I have ZERO problems when using NZB-O-Matic for downloading, if a file is incomplete it tells me and if it is corrupt then it reports a CRC error. Newsleecher will report if files are incomplete on the server, the problem is it corrupts files while decoding even though it has downloaded all parts. This usually occurs if the system is under load during the decoding process.

I have downloaded the last 3 betas and found them to be utter crap.
If they arent tested adequately in house before being released to the public, then dont waste my time. And I say this, fully knowing they ARE beta. The problem is a new beta ever 2 days? Thats ridiculous. If there is a project driving those releases, it is poor project management. If it is new bugs popping up in the latest beta, it is poor coding breaking a previous feature.

I will wait for the new features to be release in production before trying ANY more betas, regardless of what nifty bell & whistle they claim to provide. What good are features like odometers when I cant even connect anymore? Since the betas, I am seeing very poor connections and an increased amount of disconnects.
Reliability, not pretty graphs, NewsLeecher!~!!
