History File

Hi, I am using build 736 and have noticed that a number of files are not being picked up by history file prior to download, ie binaryboy downloads say 100 parts of file only to say 'found in history by decoder - discarding. I don't think I have ever had this problem with binaryboy before.

In order to find the filename ahead of time, Binary Boy needs to extract it from the subject, which is very difficult unless it's wrapped in quotes. Binary Boy can also extract the filenames of some mp3s that follow a certain pattern. If you point me to a a newsgroup and give me something to search for, I'll check to see if there's a workaround. You can mail to support at binaryboy.com

Keep in mind you can also use the message-id history, which can remember articles even when they're from different servers. It's on the File | History window.
