Decoding stopped when I was using AutoUnpack simultaneously.
Then it wouldn't continue even when I stopped/closed AutoUnpack or restarted alt.binz
I check the Help forum & found 2 old postings which suggested using yencDecode.exe in the temp folder which I am doing right now. [when I tried to reply - a new posting was suggested].
I am wondering it can set up like NZB-O-MaticPlus which queues the decoding if there are too many programs running & the CPU is at 100%. It will then start decoding automatically once the CPU is freed up. However alt.binz just seem to hang with a long decoding queue even when my CPU is completely idle.
I am running alt.binz 0.32.1 on Win XP SP3 on an Intel i870 4Gb RAM & I have lots of disk space

It depends on what you mean by "hang" in this context. Can you clarify? And any errors in the Alt.Binz Log?
-
alt.binz does not decode and there is no CPU activity that I can see in the CPU Usage History in the Task Manager.
If I continue to download the decode queue just gets longer.
I forgot to check the Log - I knew I forgot something! I will post the log next time when it happens again. I will try to recreate the problem.

This is the kind of behaviour that would be expected if Alt.Binz can't find articles on the server, and is waiting to retry them before completing the yEnc decoding - but your Log should tell you if this is the case. See settings in Setup > Connection.
Needless to say, you don't want to be running any other apps in the Alt.Binz directories (download & temp), and if you're running more than one client on the same server you'll need to make sure there are enough connection threads available for both.
