Thanks, I don't have anything selected in the Network tab.

I ended up saving my *.nbi file and Key and uninstalled and deleted the folders and reinstalled 6.90. Now that works, but that doesn't have any options for Logging under Advanced except Normal (selected), Verbose and Debug. Should I install the Beta?

I don't remember how I set the data folder as G: but I'd rather have it on C: now. How do I change that? I guess I can edit the NBI file.
Thanks.

EDIT: While waiting for a reply I installed/upgraded to 6.91RC4 and I still don't see any other options for Logging under Advanced.

Odd bug with newsdemon servers header downloads.

Sometimes it will get stuck downloading new headers on a random group. It will keep repeating the attempt to download and fail at the same header count with a connection timeout message.

The total headers being downloaded increases when it retries based on actual posts. So the first time it may freeze at (1057/4005) then the next time will be (1057/5042), etc. I've seen it get into sometime like (108,878/11,000,004) ranges on high volume groups.

Going into the server settings and changing the header overlap will fix it. Doesn't matter what the value was before or after but it fixes it. Even changing from 0 to 1 does it.
