Strange threaded file download process
Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2019 3:23 am
Sorry, still trying to get my head around some of Newsbin's behaviour:
In a binary group, I selected a Re:**** text file to download so that I could read it. This file downloaded and displayed in the Files List as expected. However, I noticed that other files from that thread had also been downloaded and did >not< display in the Files List window, so I had to use Windows Explorer to access that particular Newsbin directory and view/delete those files maunually.
I didn't expect the other files to auto-download and why didn't they display in the Files List window?
Thanks for any help with this counter-intuitive Newsbin behaviour.
Also, getting a lot of warning messages and additional hoops to jump through from my security software and web browser due to this forum not being "secure".
