Newsleecher - help needed

welshdragon · 16 Dec 2011 at 11:31

I am running Newsleecher and regardless of whetehr I have one item or several in the queue I leave it going only to find out that the download has paused at about 75%. Anyone else had this and how do I get around it?

Are you running the 5.0 beta or v4 final?

Disk space an issue? It pauses the queue when space reaches a certain threshold (changeable in settings)

Does the log in newsleecher say anything?

If you are using a disk that doesn't contain your OS does it turn itself off for power saving?

It's the V4 final.

Plenty of disk space and the power saving thing may be a factor actually........shall have a look, didn't think of that!

I think that may have done it, though I can't imagine it would have hibernated the drive while writing to it...... maybe it was giving it chance to catch up....

Glad its sorted anyway. I used to download to an external that would turn itself off. That's how I knew what the problem might be.

Yes I was shunting them to a hd when my os is on ssd. It had set it to sleep after 20 mins...sigh
