| Number | Bug | Status | In Release... |
| 8 | While watching the status window I noticed quite a few images are not downloaded with the error "Unspecified Fatal Error, No Retry" This is from alt.binaries.pictures.wallpaper | We think it is fixed | B11 |
| 10 | When single clicking on a group, the post list shows posts from other groups. | Fixed, single click doesn't show posts anymore. | B11 |
| 11 | Right-click on a post marked [Incomplete], and guess what
post gets dl'ed? Who knows?
I have dl'ed multiple copies of files that are NOT the incomplete files that were *force download*ed, just to reproduce the actions! Once, it started dl'ing the incomplete post, but usually, it dl's a copy of a post already dl'ed. I looked in the Downloaded Files list and I see that the actual FORCED FILE subject line is correct, but the filename is the name of the file that shows in the thumbnail bar (which is NOT the file that I Force Download'ed) |
New selection logic in B11 fixes this. | B11 |
| 13 | when downloading headers many files are showing as spam although no spam parameters are set. changing filters causes these same posts to now show as already downloaded | This is the way it should work. Spam posts are considered Failed posts. Failed posts get added to the postid cache. | N/A |
| 14 | I was downloading files in one group, queued up the files to download and then started another group to get headers. The files queued from the previous group disappeared from the "Download List" tab. | Still cannot recreate, under investigation | |
| 15 | My headers started off too wide on the '#' and could see the edge of the 'Subject' header. Could easily resize but thought you should know in case there is an .ini conversion problem or defaults need to be adjusted. (FYI: My screen size is 1024 by 768 and I had Newsbin taking the entire width of the screen) | Subject header is in first column now. | B11 |
| 16 | I notice that after a 400 error, the color bar on the server list doesn't reflect the error | Fixed | B11 |
| 17 | failed files remain in the downloading files pane and are marked green | If the download failed and then succeeded on a subsequent try, it turns green because it succeeded but it stays in the failed list. | B13 |
| 25 | I know some viewing disabled persons. and they require their screen to be at 640x480. In this size part of Newsbin is cut off on the right hand side. | ||
| 28 | What happened to rubber-band selecting multiple posts to add to download list? | Works better in B11 since the subject field is the first column again. | B11 |
| 39 | Make posting dialog box modeless. Currently locks out active downloads. | ||
| 47 | NewsBin logfile seems to be broken | ||
| 53 | NewsBin shows incomplete posts when NewsFeeds is one of the servers in the list. | Fixed | B11 |
| 55 | Need to check to make sure filename is write-able after first chunk is downloaded of multipart file. | Fixed | B11 |
| 56 | When deleting servers from the server list, posts that had parts listed on those servers will still try to use said servers | ||
| 58 | I noticed beta 5 seemed to be taking longer to load the spool file. Checking it I see posts with a date range from 8/6/01 to 8/31/01 but my Max Record Age is set to 10. | Max Record Age is now re-enabled | B11 |
| 66 | No longer have bold boxes indicating new posts | New "highlighting" of boxes for new posts has been implemented. | B11 |
| 68 | When downloading headers, clicking stop only seems to cancel the header download for the group it is on, it then moves on to the other groups to process them. I don't know if this is what you had in mind, but it sure isn't what I expected. | Fixed | B11 |
| 69 |
When getting a series of files, I often find that getting the complete
posts that are marked as new and assuming the rest were ones I got
previously, I find that I end up missing files where the posts were
incomplete the last time I checked.
I'm guessing that you're not marking posts which have existing chunks as new when new chunks for them do show up later. |
Fixed | B11 |
| 70 | Disabling server not reflected in spool info | Same as 56 | |
| 73 | In the INI Wizard, if a server is not entered, the user is alerted and told that a server is required to continue. The wizard then proceeds to the next page. If you hit back and correct this, it will accept it, but when you look at your server list, you have 2 servers, a blank one and the real one. | Fixed | B11 |
| 77 | I just
got a file which was put into the failed download tab, but which was
assigned a green completed icon.
The file itself did indeed fail, and never appeared in the download
directory, the error was: Incidentally, I don't understand why this file failed, as a retry (ctrl-a again) worked, apparently without even needing to retrieve more parts (it was instantaneous). |
Problem with multi-part, multi-file posts. These are rare posts, tough to track down. | B13 |
| 79 | Post Properties does not update to reflect deleted headers. | Currently, you cannot delete headers through Post Properties | |
| 82 | When 'Incomplete' is checked (from the Util menu), and then any of the other options are chosen from the menu, incomplete is unchecked. (Remember...ONLY from the Util menu; not the filter bar) | Fixed | B11 |
| 83 |
Queuing a few files in newsbin shows that I downloaded 120 megs and I
had 670megs left.
I notice after a while that the meter (at the bottom of the program) now says 200 and 0. However I have 3+ gigs in queue. The meter does still count upwards for files downloaded. |
Fixed with the rewrite of the counter logic. | B11 |
| 84 |
While I was busy queuing a few hundred files in bug #83, I noticed
after a point (not sure when) that I would highlight a number of files
to download and right click and add to download list.
These files would not show as checked but they were added to the download list tab. moving the slider up and down placed the checks in their proper spot, as did simply clicking on something else that was not currently highlighted. |
Fixed | B11 |

2nd try, still seems broken, we'll try this description:
1. doubleclick on a group, the spool will load quite quickly and then download the new headers 2. doubleclick another group, now the number of posts of the previous group is in the status line and if that number is exceeded, the status line counter increases very slowly. now, i always quit newsbin before doubleclicking a second group and performance is way better. i think the counter (that seems to get updated very very often) slows things really down |
It's a
linear function, the more headers you have, the longer it takes to load.
This logic has been re-written in B11, we'll call it fixed unless someone else complains about it. |

| 89 | Cannot turn off PostID Cache | Fixed | B11 |

Server connection limit not working as expected: My "Setup"
"Connections" is set to 8 as four of my five servers have no
problem with that number.
I also have EasyNews access but it seems to choke when I use more than two connections. I set the EasyNews's server properties "Connection Limit" to two to "fix" this. It seems that EasyNews isn't getting much more than my ISP's server
and I was mainly pulling headers only from EasyNews so Whenever I had more than two queued downloads, the extras would fail
(red line in list). Why is NewsBin even trying the third |
This code was re-written for B11. Need to re-test. Marking as fixed unless someone else complains about it. | B11 |
| 91 |
The "Servers" column opens up almost twice as wide as my
longest server title. Is NewsBin displaying "Server Title" but using "Server Address" when calculating the column width? Once I resize the column, it's ok until I start NewsBin again. |
Fixed | B11 |
| 92 | Hook up Max Record Age | Same as 58 | B11 |
| 93 | INI to NBI configuration file conversion doesn't always work correctly. | Re-worked, under testing | B12 |
| 94 | Headers from disabled servers still show in post list. | Same as 56 | |
| 95 | Recycle servers feature is not hooked up. | Fixed | B11 |
| 96 | Downloaded files list sometimes shows files as still downloading although they are completely downloaded. | Fixed | B11 |
| 97 | I am unable to change the download directory. No matter what, it always downloads to my 'old' download directory. | If upgrading from 3.x, make sure you explicitly change the configuration file in 4.0. Now ends with a .nbi extension. | N/A |
| 98 | When changing server name in server dialog, a new entry it created instead of modifying the current server name | Quade and Dexter are fighting about this one. Quade doesn't think it is worth the effort to change this behavior because most people will only do it once. | |
| 99 | The "New" button on the server dialog does nothing | This button should clear all fields. | B13 |
| 100 | When I shift-click to select several files and add to the download list (right-click), it skips the first, starts the 2nd and 3rd, then won't begin downloading any of the others in sequence. | B12 | |
| 101 | If there are 12 files in the failed list and I highlight them all and hit CTRL-A it will re-add only half of them to the download list, leaving me with 6 files still in the failed list. I CTRL-A the remaining 6 and it only re-adds 3 of them, CTRL-A the remaining 3 and it leaves me with 1, etc. | Still there in B13 | B14 |
| 102 | Contents of Status Tab sometimes shows in Post List tab until a column sort is done which refreshes the post list tab. | ||
| 103 | Automatic Shutdown option is not hooked yet. | ||
| 104 | Reducing number of connections while they are active sometimes causes a crash | ||
| 105 | Pressing the "Play" button after being paused clears the post list. | Now displays a warning message | B13 |
| 106 | Replies to multipart posts show as incomplete | ||
| 107 | Download list is lost when dialup connection dies. | Download will be on the Failed Downloads list. When connection is re-established, just re-submit the posts from the failed download list. | B15 |
| 108 | If you do FILE,EXIT,CANCEL or X,CANCEL or ALT-F4,CANCEL it is then impossible to close NB without going in to task manager.. | Fixed | B13 |
| 109 | Right-click on group menu option, Download 1000 More, is not hooked up | ||
| 110 | Clicking on "Register/Update Key Dialog" under "Help" will crash the program | Fixed | B15 |
| 111 | New posts ONLY showing up: With the option to show only new posts OFF, when new headers are downloaded, still only the new posts show. The old posts don't show up unless you select and then unselect the option to show only new. | Cannot recreate | |
| 112 | Load download list does not work. | B15 | |
| 113 | Posting large files appears to be broken | ||
| 114 | Clearing Downloaded Files List does not clear counter on the tab. | Fixed | B15 |
| 115 | Delete post does not delete forever. | Cannot recreate | |
| 116 | Registration for B14 is broken, cannot register. | Fixed. Workaround is to register B13, then upgrade to B14. | B15 |
| 117 | NewsBin sometimes crashes when launching downloaded file from the Downloaded Files list. | Fixed | B15 |
| 118 | Cannot uncheck a post that has a "W" in it. | ||
| 119 | Skip Group feature is broken | ||
| 120 | A post counts as "old" if any article-part is old, ie posts that contains article from both the previous run and the new run doesn't show as "new" even though they've never been shown before. | Cannot recreate | |
| 121 | If download path does not exist, NewsBin will not create it and you receive file the message "Problem creating filename or filename exists but, auto-rename disabled' . | ||
