========================================================
The current version of Agent 8.0 has a problem downloading some
headers when Megajoining the header downloads. Not sure just what the
characteristic is which causes the problem, but it is easily solved.
Folder > Properties > Receiving Messages > Usenet Archives.
1. Check 'Override default settings"
2. Uncheck 'Megajoin archives when retrieving headers.'
also:
Folder > Properties > Receiving Messages > Importing NZB files
1. Uncheck 'Megajoin archives'.
You shouldn't need to do this for all Usenet newsgroups, as this
'missing headers' problem only seems to occur in header uploads to
this group. But if you do find a comparable problem in some other
newsgroup as well, repeat the above for those newsgroups.
You'll get the individual RAR headers, rather than the Megajoined
single header, and the standard format headers ought to work just
fine.
