ERROR BR: Read Failure

[RangerXus]

I received an error when doing a mass download of new headers for all my groups.

[03/17 11:53:41] ERROR BR: Read Failure: 10070 to read 0 Actual Read Code: 18446744071562145803
[03/17 11:53:41] ERROR BR: Read Failure - Would Block
[03/17 11:53:41] ERROR Server:EasyNews NNTPServer: Bad Compressed Header Format
[03/17 11:54:02] ERROR NEWS SERVER ERROR: Error talking to Server in initial connection : Server:EasyNews NNTPServer: Bad Compressed Header Format

I was able to continue on and have not notice any problem since so I am assuming it was just a hiccup.

But is it possible that headers for whatever group Newsbin was downloading at the time were lost and I am now missing headers in one or more groups? I don't know what group it was downloading headers for when the error occurred unless I assume it was the one mentioned in the log entry "ALWAYS EasyNews GROUP..." just before the error. I don't want to re-download all headers again but don't want to miss any entries also.

Any advice? Thanks.

It's just a connection failure and it shouldn't cost you any headers. Even if it happens 1/2 way through a header download, Newsbin should continue where it left next time around.

You could try disabling "XFeatures" in the server options (if it's enabled). Some firewalls don't like compressed headers.

Great. Thanks.
