========================================================
View All Messages/View Unread Messages/Randomly Ignored Rar Parts.
As You choose to Delete messages when you have read them, then there
would be No difference to you between these two views.
Whereas, I mark them read instead of deleting and let the Purging take
care of them (after a month).
Therefore, my normal view would be Viewing Unread Messages'. A month
worth or 'Read' headers would still be there (in the background) in
case I might have missed something.
My default killfilter is set with the 'ignore' option ticked, another
option is 'Mark as Read' but I have also found this to be flawed...
some series I have killfiltered kept coming back unless the ignore
option was selected.
Missing (Ignored) files...
I have often downloaded an episode of a series and found there to be
missing blocks (on the Par check), after checking the par data it
usually turns out that Agent has chosen to ignore a complete rar file
section from the collection... thats why I'm short on blocks.
It does this for No reason and is certainly another flaw.
I can double-click on the ignored part and it will download, but I
have no idea Why it was ignored in the first place.
I have even found parts of my own posts being ignored before ! Why the
Hell would I Ignore myself !
The 'threaded' flaw and the 'randomly ignore' flaw are two separate
flaws.
My Agent has both but they have nothing to do with each other.
Agent IS managing huge sets of data, but its a computer programme, if
the software is programmed properly by the Agent people then it Can't
make mistakes and to say that is 'wont be fixed' is just a complete
cop-out.
