The download cache was working great, for me, but as of 2.5.6 it is gone. Can we have it back?

Hi George,
I decided to make it a registered user feature only. Not because I'm evil but because I dont want to sell un-registered users a pig in a poke.
Yahoo may pull the plug on that feature at any time & I dont want people to buy PGO & then have it not perform as they wish because of something which is out of my control.
If they get this feature as a freebie after registration then its no great loss if, all of a sudden, it stops working.
You see where I'm coming from?
Cheers,
Wilson.
Yes, that makes sense, but I hope that Yahoo leaves the plug alone. With the feature, I'm getting about 1200 messages in an hour's time, and never getting locked out. Without it, downloads came at a rate of about 50 per hour, and Yahoo locks me well before the first hour is through.
Is there some way to speed up downloads, without caching? I plan to register, but 50 per hour is way to slow.
Regards,
George
George,
Once you've downloaded all your groups you can switch off caching & use the old method. Especially if you refresh every day or so.
Cheers,
Wilson.
I never noticed the download cache.
How does it work?
Its only in the registered version.
Its in File --> Options --> Download--> Enable Messages Caching.
Cheers,
Wilson.
