So, I gather from what you're saying that you've tried setting your retry count lower (even @ 0), and it still won't budge?
Other possibilities: toggle your connection off/on, exit Alt.Binz and restart, this usually shifts a stuck decoding thread. There's also a manual yenc decoder:
https://www.altbinz.net/forum/index.php?topic=1489.0There have been lots of improvements since 0.25.0 with the handling of decoding, but seeing as we don't really know what your problem is, I can't say for sure whether it's been fixed in later versions. Certainly I've never had these issues with Giganews: I can only advise that you look into your antivirus, firewall, network connection, or anything else that might be interfering with Alt.Binz, etc.
