Hello. I install almost every Build. Now I am at Build 20. 1. I can't pinpoint which version changed something, but since some builds (I think somewhere around Build 17) I find *.001 *.002 ... files in my trashbin. Those files came from my attachments folder (not the parts-folder). I...

Sure would be nice to be able to load the queue with files and then have it start running at a particular time rather than having to mess with the Scheduler.

I set my BB to cache the headers on the disk. However due to number of newsgroups I'm almost out of space. One solution is to reduce number of days stored. Another option is to 'not download extended headers'. I'm not sure what this setting does exactly, or how it will affect by subsequent...

Hello. Once again I had to change some little bits in my Win Xp Pro Sp3 Computer. After a restart BB crashed and Win wanted to send an Error-Report to MS. After this BB did not work any more. Installing the newest BB-Build did not fix the Problem. Okay, so searched for a way to uninstall BB,...

Hello. I asked this some years ago, but until today nothing changed - so I ask again: In BB thee are some places where I can enter numbers. In example: Search-Window > starting Point > last new My Computer runs endlessly with the same Grouplist in a loop and it takes many dayes until it...

Just received this info from BinaryBoy.com's Usenet provider about a problem affecting the Amsterdam server: A fiber provider has had a major fiber cut between Amsterdam and Frankfurt. We have rerouted traffic around the cut on our diverse paths, but downstream networks are also affected by the...

I recently installed BB on Linux (using Wine) with a great deal of help from Howard and it runs just fine. Unforunately, I had a second computer crash and had to rebuild my whole system from scratch. Starting on 10/4, nzb files I created at the bisearch.com website and copied into BB began to...

Hi It's been a long time since I upgraded but I finally did today. I did a complete format and install of all my stuff and I installed BB from my old CD. Once I did the upgrade it asked for a key or order number. How would I find out what these numbers are? My cd doesn't have a key and my...

Sorry about the message board being down this morning. It was some sort of mysql problem and has been fixed by my web host.

With build 608 installed my memory usage increases as each image is decoded. Deleting them with the viewer actually aggravates the situation, driving the memory usage even higher. If the viewer is open and decoding multiple images it eventually quits functioning (the viewer that is). With the image...

You can now search and edit newsgroup descriptions online at http://newsgroupfinder.com If you have additional information to add about a newsgroup, feel free to edit the appropriate page. You can also reach this site by right-clicking a newsgroup name on the Binary Boy search tab or in the...

any plan to include multiple header download functionality at some point in future.

Hello. I just installed build 605. And now BB just runs through all Newsgroups and gets no Postings any more. Log-Window: Downloading subjects from alt.binaries.** on news.giganews.com. Connected to news-europe.giganews.com (216.196.***.***). 200 News.GigaNews.Com ERROR: Password already...

Hello. BB pro 1.96 build 604 tells me there is a build 605. I downloaded it (twice) and installed it. But after installing it says in -about BB- that it is 604 and shows me again the button for 605 download.

I keep getting this over and over in my log file. I wouldn't really care except it makes noise every time and it gets annoying. Any ideas how to fix it? (besides turning my sound off?)

Hi, I try to connect with the bought version of Binary Boy to connect to news.softvelocity.com but the program cannot download the group list. When i add this url to outlook express is works intermediately? Any ides? Thx in advance Marco

I recently bought a new computer with Windows 7. I installed Binary Boy using my initial file (bbst.exe), then loaded version 1.96 build 1. I configured my newsgroup, password, etc as it was before. I started the program and asked for it to download the newsgroups. (Giganews). It will not...

Can Delete4Sure be used in a batch file? There doesn't appear to be an executable, only a dll. From time-to-time I need to run D4S on a series of folders, and it would be handy to run a script or batch file. ALH

Hi, Its my first post so bit of a newbie here ;) I am however quite proficient with Torrents but not with news groups. I am signed and paid up with Giganews and use Newsbin to find the things I want. I am using Binaryboy (obviously) to download the things I want. I am after TV boxsets but...

Is there a plan to increase the number of open connections to keep up with giganews which now allows 10 concurrent connections ?

My mistake...

I just updated to build 601. BB works fine until after I select files for download. Once I do that; I cannot do anything until after the files are downloaded. Right mouse key will not work, I cannot min the program, continue with other file selection etc... Any suggestions on correcting. I am using...

I just bought a new computer & downloaded BB. It didn't give me an option to enter my name & license code info, so it shows "unregistered". How do I enter my info to obtain the fully licensed version? Thanks. -J

Hello, been a while since I posted here. And a while since I used Binary Boy. After installing it, I notice I get a Binary Boy folder, in my My Documents folder. If I try to move the folder to a more hidden location, as soon as I start the program, the folder re-appears. Is this standard or...
