News Server Article Numbers Hitting 32 Bit limit…

31-Mar-09

High traffic newsgroups are just now reaching a size that cannot be represented in a signed 32 bit number (the number is a little over 2 billion). The latest version of Newsbin (Version 5.52) uses a 64 bit value to store and process article numbers. If you are not running Version 5.52, you may have issues with large newsgroups (namely alt.binaries.boneless) on some servers. So far Astraweb is the only one we know of that has actually hit the limit but, the others are soon to come.

Version 5.52 Released

18-Mar-09

Author: dexter

Posted: Wed Mar 18, 2009 3:23 pm

Version 5.52 is a minor incremental release that has some new functionality and also addresses some issues discovered in earlier releases.

  • Implemented new options for downloading with NZB Files. Go under Options/NZB Files to set these the first time you run Newsbin.

  • The Date column in the Post lists and Search tab can now be displayed as relative days or absolute date. Toggle using ctrl-t or with the new option under Options/Advanced.
  • Queuing multiple RAR/PAR sets simultaneously now forces the smallest PAR2 files to download first so AutoPAR will display all the files queued for download immediately.
  • Reverted to the bandwidth limiter code used in Version 5.42

You can review the entire development process in the release notes which are available for viewing after you run the installer.

Molter added, "It won’t be long until we are providing a full year of retention. We’re tracking our progress on our website. We hope users will check the site often as we reach this new milestone in Usenet history."
