That will always be a problem because posters don't all use the same
charset anyway. But what I was referring to was that BNR2 (the linux
version at least) doesn't combine parts if it creates a directory the
name of which contains non-ANSI chars. Sorry for not specifying this
last time.

The last version of sqLite 2 is twenty-three months old...

How old BNR3 was might be important if it used sqLite 3.

BNR downloading after crash

Hi,
New to group but not BNR and all its +'s and -'s! Anyway, apart from
the database size issue I have a problem that when BNR crashes all the
parts that are in still in the queue down load and then become errors!
Is there anyway to recover properly afer a crash ?

Cheers

Dave

Me too - I am able to "select all" then bump the priority (which the
doc says "marks for download") but it doesn't download.

Yes - at the bottom of the queue window, it shows servers "ready" (at
least it does until they time out because they have nothing to do). 

The worst of it is that I poked and prodded yesterday until it
actually downloaded everything in the queue, but for the life of me 
I can't figure out what I did to accomplish that. Hopefully, it was
not because I caused the groups headers to be downloaded (?) - if so,
this is unusable. The whole attraction to using NZBs and BNR was that

What version are you using ?

If I have a 'crash', or in my case the sqLite/NTdll error I just re-start
and I have a rule that shows only marked for download and using it I
select all and then properties and uncheck under 'flags' 'marked for
download' and 'downloaded' then mark all for download again and your back
as you were before.

RE: Getting queue to download

Right Click on Server | Properties | Connections Tab

Make sure that boxes labelled "Connect-On-Demand" & "Initiate parallel
auto-connect attempts" are ticked.

Hopefully, that's your problem.

Re: Getting queue to download

This is not likely to be of any help, but I wanted to pass along an
apparently related problem that I fought with a few weeks ago. I had
problems with my main ISP (BellSouth) and was trying to download from
some alternate servers including one that I had marked as "Articles
Only". I had the items in the queue (got the article numbers from yet
a third but lower priority server). BNR2 had already pulled headers
and knew they were not on BellSouth. My Articles Only server was the
next higher priority server, it was connected and ready, but nothing
downloaded.

I finally found that I could force a segment to download if I went to
the queue and targeted it for the Articles Only server, although there
was no reason that I should have had to do this. And worse, if I
marked a block of segments as targeted for that server, only one would
download and the rest would reset to "any server" but then not
download! Yet I could force another segment to download if I set it to
that server as a target. I had to manually target one segment at a
time and let it download before targeting another segment to get the
parts that I wanted. I have completely been unable to come up with any
logical reason for BNR2 to work this way.

I encountered this problem as well a few days ago when I needed a few
blocks from a fill server and needed to select the 'lines' one by one
to download them (I probably added the fill server after importing the
nzb file). The method did in fact work but was v e r y tiresome. I was
wondering whether the problem was related to the version of bnr2 that
