  • newslink issues

    From poindexter FORTRAN@1:229/2 to All on Thursday, February 21, 2019 07:41:00
    From: poindexter.fortran@REALITY.remove-phh-this

    I had newslink want to download 12,000 messages in one newsgroup a few days ago. I ram smbutil to pack the message board and get it down to 5,000
    messages (my limit) and it happened again.

    I commented out that newsgroup in newslink.cfg, and now another group is
    doing the same thing. I haven't looked at the server yet to see if I can
    figure out what's going on, but it's odd that both newslink and the server
    have been trouble free for years.

    Has anyone seen similar behavior?



    ... What if I told you you can't hurt the newcomers?

    what is your command line for newslink
    what is your provider.

    I was running the stock command with Synchronet, don't know the
    command line. I ran jsexec newslink.js with the command line to reset pointers and all is well.

    It sounds like maybe your news server has renumbered the articles. Now
    that you've reset, it should be fine if that was the issue. You should
    be back in sync with the server.

    Are you replying with a news reader? I noticed your reply was addressed to "All" rather than the person you were quoting, so they might not see your reply in a new to-me message scan.

    That's the most likely explanation, and all is well now. Thanks for the input.
