I just update to Beta 9 from Beta 7 and every time I try to update a groups headers I get a "Can't Create Temporary File on..." with some crazy path name. Does anyone else have this issue or does anyone have a fix for it? Is it safe to go back to version 7?

TIA,
Capn.

I would really like to have the "NZB Name" tag to use on destination directories. That would solve a lot of my problems. I would say this is something I want more than anything thing else I have seen.
Sincerely,
Capn.

Hi Scuba Well, I thought I had it using tags and I did but the tags made the names too long blowing out the path constraints. I use to create my own NZB files using the the "select files, right click, more, create nzb, put in my own name for the directory, then saving the nzb where NL would pick it ...

I found the answer in tags. Now if I can just get the right tags or the right tags exist I will be in good shape.
Sure hope this works.

Scuba - I am trying to do just the opposite. I want the files to dowload and make nice little download folders with the path in the NZB file. How do I set that up? alt.binaries.file/coolness_live_2087/

Thanks,

Thanks! I think I finally figured out all the buttons to set (to get back to the setup I had) but I would rather use something like "Leech Specify". Will "Leech Specify" put the specified folder under the group name it was downloaded from? Thanks for the help.

I don't use any of the extraction functions. I have it set where it will put the group folder (alt.binary.???) but it used to put in the directory name I put in create NZB blank in the group folder. That doesn't happen anymore since the last two betas.

Thanks,
Capn.

Will any of the Leech commands build custom named directories? This did work and I have looked all over for settings that work. I have not used the Leech commands as I always ended up with path errors. Hope you can help cause this is a disaster.

Thanks,
Capn.

I used to be able to create directory structures on download by exporting the files I wanted to an .nzb file that I customized the folder name to download too and importing it. Now I just get all the files placed in the group directory. I don't get the tree structure like alt.binaries.test ---------...

Well the formatting on my list went to ick. Each of those is a ladder or tree. I think most will get the idea.

Thanks,
Capn.

For some reason my downloads are being put one file per directory. I create my own NZB files so I control the directory name (due to super long names that really screw up the works.) It creates the group subfolder name and then it creates the NZB named folders, but it only puts a file, the .ion file...

Well you are about 10 or so versions behind the curve.[/quote] Actually, no. I am on 5.2b2 which I believe is the latest in the 5 series. My bad for causing some confusion. Still have to wonder if V6x.x is where all the development will be. If you have V6, it would seem that the development cycle fo...

I am having a lot of problems with V5 beta 2. Now that V6 beta 2 is out, it begs the question of whether version 6 is the only version being developed. If no more 5, then I will move on to 6, though version 6 seems a bit "self serving" for Newsleecher's new hosting plans. Since I am not on those pla...

Does the error reporting even work anymore? It used to say "send to author" or something of that nature. Now the action is just cut to clipboard or close. With all the errors, I am sure not going to sit here and cut and paste into an email all the errors I see in a week.

I have found that when you first subscribe to a group, all of the headers are not downloaded IF you have NL set to only download say 20,000,000 on the first download. You have to download all the headers are they will be a big gap, as seen in the days of posting, in that group. If you clear the cach...
