![]() ![]() ![]() We ended the previous chapter with subscribing to a Usenet newsgroup. Since release 1.5.2 there is an option to limit the maximum amount of headers per group. Or it will be stuck processing them for a really long time (days). When GrabIt hits its limit on your system, it will download all the headers, but will not show them. The maximum amount of headers GrabIt can handle depends on your computer. GrabIt is not able to handle the headers of really large groups at this moment. (Note: you have to add each group for each server manually) Downloading headers Now we have subscribed to, it is also shown on the left of the main screen, under our Default server. This will be of interest when updating a group. Right now we can see how many articles (parts of posts) the group contains. Subscribing to a Usenet newsgroup can be done in two ways: either right click on the group and select Subscribe (2a), or select the Usenet newsgroup and click the Subscribe button (2b).We already know which group we want, so we can fill in the search filter (1).For this tutorial we are going to download a post from, so let’s add this group.

(Note that ‘Default server’ changes when selecting a different server). Once that’s done, we open the All groups on Default server tab.

We can either right click on Default server and select Refresh grouplist or we can select our default server and click the big Refresh grouplist button. In the following parts of the tutorial I will discuss only the default server.įirst, we have to collect the grouplist from our newsserver. Below you can see the result of our previous actions.Īs we can see, there are two servers we can use: my ISP’s server (default) and a payserver. Adding Usenet newsgroupsĪs we now have our servers set up, we can take a look at adding Usenet newsgroups to our group list. However, we will describe it anyway as this is still possible and it might be useful should you be unable to acquire an NZB file.
