well, the working theory is (according to the genie), i may caught the attention of the NewSearcher author. he may not have liked the version i was using, and so decided to curtail my NewsSearcher activities. it's a shame - it was fun while it lasted - wonder if there are miscreants like me out there?

There are other versions that might work. Surely was for me when I was in that pinch.

The Newleecher, not NewsSearcher guy. The NS guy is offering a free product, not the NL guy.
Also, use this program and you might find some "protectors" in your registry, especially Armadillo, which is used by the NewsLeecher guy.

oh, sorry - got my outraged software authors mixed up...

well, i think i almost just got one, but i accidentally disrupted it, so maybe there's another copy of that floating around somewhere?

i tried that EVACleaner Napho, thanks.

how come it keeps finding 19 Armadillo keys even after i clear them?

so, when i have the "approved" NL installed, can i go back and reinistall NS?

I don't know if it works with the latest version of Newsleecher. http://z14.invisionfree.com/NewsSear...?showtopic=203

thanks for the help, guys

here's a question: you find an nzb file, you go to grab it, and the NL log says "403- no such article". can you pretty much assume that it's no longer hosted on a newsgroup and it's probably never coming back?n i mean, any point in keeping it queued?

19!!!!!!!! It's still not too late to leave the country. http://siliconrealms.com/index.shtml Instead of checking off the main box, you could double click to see all the entries under there. A few can't be cleared by being check marked, and you have to double click them and they move to the right.
