Problem with Newsgroups

[DmBillies41]

I'm having a problem downloading 4/1/03 from the newsgroups...I'm trying to download d2t5 and everything after that but if i select all the songs and queue them all at once, it'll go and download one line of each file at a time, and not finish a whole song before moving onto the next..anyone know how to fix this problem?

what program are you using?

[DmBillies41]

xnews...any clue?

[DmBillies41]

And I tried to do one song at a time, and I still get an error...it'll make one file for d2t05 and then another one that says d2t05_error...any help anyone? :confused: :confused:

yes. first, it needs to have a threaded view, and second, you need to turn "expand all threads" OFF. then, when you que up a file, you need to make sure its a light blue full box on the side and not a dark blue partial.

... best bet, get "grabit". its waaaaay easier to use.

[DmBillies41]

Yeah i have grabit I think i'll try using it...thanks

[Erich]

yeah, grabit seems to not allow you to get incomplete files, so you'll be good with that.

It sounds like there's an error on that specific file, do you see a red exclamation mark on the far left side? Try it with another program and see if it does it again, when this happens it's time to beg for a repost usually.

I restarted my computer and now its working fine, just going unbelievably slow
