#GRABIT SET HOW TO#

The Servers tab tells us how to add a new newsserver, which I will discuss in the next chapter.

This way I don’t have to download them all over again. This is because my payserver has a long retention, and I will possibly want to use older headers as well. I chose to have the files in the cache deleted after 15 days. I checked the option 'Automatically cleanup cache folder when GrabIt starts'. If you select 'limit the maximum amount of headers in a group' not all headers of a certain group will be fetched, but only the number that is entered in the input field beneath the checkbox. I recommend using a fake e-mail address to prevent your mailbox being flooded with spam. It is possible to post short text messages into a Usenet newsgroup using GrabIt. We have arrived at the last configuration tab, Posting.

Automatically check for updates : Defines how often GrabIt checks for new updates.

(Also see the QuickPar tutorial for further information.)

Incomplete binary handling : This one has to be checked, otherwise GrabIt won’t download incomplete files, and repairing with PAR2 will be very difficult.

Automatically retry items in batch makes GrabIt retry any failed files in your batch.

Error handling : I unchecked the two options Check singleparts for errors and Check multiparts for errors to prevent GrabIt from giving errors when downloading incomplete files.

Let’s see what kind of advanced settings GrabIt has.

#GRABIT SET PC#

In this way you won’t lose your entire batch if your PC crashes.

Auto save batch : Time after which your batch will be saved automatically.

Decode priority : Lower: when multiple programs are using your CPU, GrabIt will use less of your resources.

Download priority : Higher: when multiple programs are downloading, GrabIt will use most of the bandwidth.

#GRABIT SET UPDATE#

Information update frequency : How many times per second information such as download speed and remaining time is refreshed.This allows us to set up the priorities of the download processes. Activating this is a matter of personal preference. When downloading a post from, for example, GrabIt automatically creates a folder called in our download folder. With this option selected, a separate folder will be created in our download folder for each Usenet newsgroup we download from. I left the entries as they were, but feel free to enter your own locations.Īt the bottom you can choose to activate the Create separate folders for each Usenet newsgroup option. Here we can change the default locations for the cache and the download folder. We skip the Visual tab and go directly to the Folders tab.

We can also associate NZB files with GrabIt by selecting the corresponding checkbox. This will have GrabIt download the selected files to our default download folder when clicking the ‘Grab’ button. In the lower part of this tab I selected Grab selected is the default action. Disabling the ‘save batch and exit’ and the ‘restart batch’ confirmations has no effect on the download process so I left these unmarked.

As for me, I turned Minimize to tray on, because I want GrabIt to minimize to my system tray when downloading. The settings that we can change here are obvious. The first tab, called Interface, allows us to configure settings related to GrabIt’s interface. But let’s start configuring GrabIt first.Īs you can see, a window called GrabIt – Preferences pops up. These give us access to several GrabIt functions that will be discussed later in the tutorial. First we see a row of buttons that allow us to perform the most common actions. The GrabIt interface has a very simple layout. When we start GrabIt, we see its main screen, which is shown below.
