Decoding yEnc type posts

Postby michael6761 » Tue Sep 06, 2011 1:39 am

I am evaluating Newsbin Pro 6.0 Build 1019 (64 bit)
I am using Windows 7 64 bit
I am able to download posts. But the yEnc posts do not seem to be decoding.
If I try to download a yEnd post with a jpg in the post the jpg results in an invalid image.
If I read the post body I can see the start of the jpg encoding in the post.

Is there a series of things I can check to enable yEnc decoding?

It's automatic and has been for years. 99% of what's posted to usenet is yEnc encoded. I'd pick some other group and try more downloads. If that still doesn't work, I might try using an alternate TCP port to the news server and also try SSL.

My problem has been resolved.

I found other yEnc posts in another newsgroup and they worked.
Apparently not all posts are good posts.

"I'd pick some other group and try more downloads." was the right answer.

I thank you for your attention.
I will be sending along payment for a key.
