Re: Grabit problem.

Not even an official response on the Support pages either... that possibly means they KNOW there's a problem but can't/won't fix it.

Re: Grabit problem.

Grabit seems to be working properly for me again! That's the second time in the last 2 weeks that troublesome groups have started to work again only to stop working at the next update!!

Anyone else still having issues with Grabit and VM Newsgroups?

Re: Grabit problem.

All of mine have been OK, though some take a long time to update, despite having few posts. I often get one or two threads that seem to "stick" until I close Grabit and restart the DL.

Re: Grabit problem.

Sorry to resurrect this thread after so long, but this problem has returned on one of the newsgroups I use. Anyone else having similar issues with VM Newsgroups & Grabit?

Re: Grabit problem.

It can't be VM that's the problem, as I'm using 'newsgroup direct' and a lot of my groups are freezing after an incremental update.
if you click quickly between 2 groups it will eventually load. but the headers look corrupt with no date or zero size.

why hasn't grabit been updated for ages?

It returned for me today. I had to resort to deleting some groups then adding them again.

Yep mine too, started playing up again yesterday. Some of the groups I use started working after doing a full update, but not all! Very frustrating

Just tried NewsLeecher. it's very confusing, and I'm very clever.
I've always used Grabit and I don't like change.
