I have recently updated from the free version, but seem to be having a problem with the server set-up. In the free version I had back-up block account for my main server, but also another server with its own back up - depending on what I was getting would determine which primary server I would use. The subscriber versions just seem to be one list so can't tell which back up is for which. Had a look at the forums and the wik (which just shows the old primary/back-up set up)
Would I need to do a full uninstall/reinstall as I just simply replaced the exe from the installed free version.

Check server purpose under each server properties.
Simply unpack archive over installed version.

Thanks for the reply.
My main usenet provider has both US & EU servers and states that you may find some articles on one and not the other. So I had each set up as a back up for the other, However if I have two primary servers, does a back-up server apply to all primary servers or is there a way of limiting it to one (no point in the US server being a back up to the same US server). I also have a dutch only block account as another backup.

Setup like this:
X nr. of connections EU primary (Level 0 Primary)
Y nr. of connections US primary (Level 0 Primary)
Z nr. of connections Dutch block (Level 1 Backup)
Make sure that X+Y doesn't go over max number of connections you're allowed to this provider (tilt X/Y balance towards closer server)
Logic: all primary servers must be checked for article before changing to next level backup servers.

So articles will be checked on both primaries, great (I had assumed each piece was allocated to a primary connection and if that failed the back-up was used).
