bug fixed. no idea how. hate it when that happens. trying to break it again now. will. not. be. defeated.
Since my last post...I've done a complete un-install (deleted all program and user settings), did a fresh install and the only bug that I have now is that no matter what I set for Header Updates (i.e. put in a value or set to "no limit"), NL only wants to download 500,00 headers...
** What do you mean, "I download too much"?? Didn't think that was possible!**

Set password in V4 beta 4
I can''t find the option to set a password to Newsleecher. Whewre did it go? The other security settings have gone to the "nerd" section, but the password option seems to be gone....
v4.0 beta 4 still won't shutdown when finished downloading
Hi,
Like the new improvements. Setup is much better. Also nice that it doesn't defaults to making a desktop shortcut.
The nerd stuff is a great way to lower the bar for new users. Nice find!
The only thing I manually had to enable was R&E (and drag the par2's I'd already downloaded...).
But, (there always is a but..) I'm still having the shutdown issue.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Newsleecher won't shutdown window after selecting the option "When empty shutdown computer". Newsleecher itself is closed, but windows keeps on running.
Please fix this, I use this every day

Problems with Preview
Installed Beta 4. Preview still does not work (same problem as Beta 3). Also you cannot hide the preview pane once you selected it...
Re: Problems with Preview
What do you mean it does not work? When downloading images, I see them in the previews just fine. I do get an error when I click on one, "Error: Unable to open file. Solution: Either there is no default viewer for this file, or it has been deleted from the disk". Well, this is for a jpg so there is a viewer set and it is on the disk as I can see it in the download folder.kirkus wrote:Installed Beta 4. Preview still does not work (same problem as Beta 3).

Spiril, remember the bug in the last alpha where the GNP would get stuck on if NewsLeecher was closed with it enabled? That same thing is happening with the preview pane and server grouping buttons. (but the grouping button gives a kljaslkja bug dialog).
kirkus, you will need to delete the setup.dat in order to get the connections window back or wait for the next beta release.

max speed limit
in older versions, you did not have to set a max speed limit and as a result, the graph would always display your max, but now you have to specifiy one. is this a bug, and will it get changed back so you can have an option to not specify a max dl speed or set it to unlimited like you used to be able too.
category search
another bug ive also noticed is when you choose under nerd advanced options to disable the categories and hide the adult category, even when set to true, it removes it, but it comes back again when you restart newsleecher
Bad bug persists
Hi. I posted on the 3 beta about this & am sorry to say it persists into beta 4. Three other people also reported the same bug in the beta 3 forum.
Queueing a downloading an automatically combined file of an .nfo & a .sfv file from Supersearch results in the creation of a 4,294,967,295 Kb file in the transfer queue and a bug report of:
Bug Data1:
Bug Data2:
nlpArtcilesIdxToDisk li.count = 0...
Its not mentioned in the bugfixes either so I presumed no-one read the forum comments or it wasn't reproducible.
To reproduce this, as an example, type in 'Regina Spektor Far' into Supersearch then attempt to download the 1Kb combined file ending in '(nfo, sfv)
