Title: Server Retention Setting
Post by: meltcity on March 04, 2007, 05:14:34 am

...to prevent altbinz from trying to download expired articles from the primary server. My current workaround is to create a second primary server which I enable manually when downloading older articles.

Why not just add that second primary server as backup to the first primary?

I already use the second primary server as the backup to the first primary, and it works very well.

Using the backup server an alt primary server is faster for me when downloading articles more than 3 days old because it means altbinz doesn't waste time trying to download expired articles from my main (ISP's) news server.

By the way, thank you very much for a superb program! It is a truly awesome piece of coding. Kudos.:)
