Just thought that I would post this.

I am running newsbin pro 5.34B6 on linux. It works great.
I have only found one problem it is in the new internet search option.

If I type in the name of a fine and filter for files 500mb or larger it seems to always come back with nothing. If I filter for 1mb the same search will come back with many entries which I can than re filter to 500mb. But If I just filter to 500mb nothing comes back in the search.

Just thought I would pass this on.

That's because there's nothing in the search engine that's 500 mb. You only see 500mb files in Newsbin because it compacts a bunch of smaller files together. Typically the largest single file posted is in the 50-100 mb range.

I probably wouldn't use a max size filter over 20 megs or so or do what you're doing now and wait till they finish downloading to apply the filter.
