Hi
I'm having trouble getting new headers from a newsgroup on my server. the error I get is:

[10/16 17:20:22] ERROR Downloader: Command Exception NEWS SERVER ERROR: NewsGroupDirect Illegal Group state Record ID's invalid: alt.binaries.multimedia.anime.highspeed NewsGroupDirect

I don't know if this is from the server or Newsbin pro 64. I have the newsgroup provider looking into it, but I thought I'd ask here also. I'm using version : 6.82B8: 00 F8 2C 00 8F 80 .
Other groups have no problem, just this one. Also, the bodies are on the server as I have downloaded some using an NZB service. Any help would be appreciated.

Newsbin is telling you the error but it's triggered from data from the server. . Typically it means and empty group or a group where the min count >= max count.

Code: Select all

This is what it looks like when I do this to Usenetserver. You could turn on "Show Server Commands" in the network option in Newsbin, they try again and see what Newsbin says to the server. You might need to restart Newsbin for it to engage.

This is what I get after turning that on. I did this twice and the only thing that changed is the time.

Looks like the server is reporting that the group is empty. I'd guess it's a bug in the group data. If you have another server, you might want to just download headers from this other server.

I don't have another server. I passed along your comment to the tech at my server, maybe that will help. Is there anything else I could try?

Not as far as I know. If you only have one server then you're at their mercy. Is this the only group giving you these symptoms? That looks like a pretty active group on my servers.

NewsGroupDirect GROUP alt.binaries.multimedia.anime.highspeed | 211 -398177991 398177991 0 alt.binaries.multimedia.anime.highspeed

This is the line you should show them. Newsbin say:

GROUP alt.binaries.multimedia.anime.highspeed

and the server says back:

211 -398177991 398177991 0 alt.binaries.multimedia.anime.highspeed

I don't know if that leading dash is an artifact of logging or actually in the response data.
