What is the download limit for the newest version of PGO, before getting locked out of Yahoo? And what would be a setting to avoid you from getting locked out?
Please check out this thread which comprehensively deals with this subject:

I read the entire thread...and I'm still confused!!!
I've tried multiple combinations of settings but I'm still geting locked out.
The details:
30,000+ msgs
Broadband connection(5MB)
I've tried 15min-20min between downloads of as low as 50msgs and as high as 199msgs, doesn't seem to matter, I keep getting locked out. Any new insight anyone can add..? Otherwise it's going to take 2 weeks to download those messages!
Thx.

>I've tried 15min-20min between downloads
You need much longer gaps. Try the settings below.
BTW what group are you downloading?
Cheers,
Wilson.
Yo!Wilson,
I've set it up...we'll see..? 25min to the next attempt...
BTW, killer app!
Yahoo!Group = StraightRazorPlace
Do you want to store it on your server..? I'll send you a copy via snail mail if you like? ping me with an addy.
It's outgrown Yahoo so I've set up a new site (http://straight-razor-place.com), It would be a nice thing to have the old messages available to search. We're getting approx 2700 msgs a month at the moment with 1300+ members. We just need more features than Yahoo can offer.

FYI, locked out after approx 200 msgs

I have uploaded the Straightrazorplace group archive zip file to the downloads page:
http://www.pgoffline.com/downloads.htm
Its in a new category, 'Mens Grooming'. I can change that title if you wish.
The download is about 21Mb which is a 6 min download with a cable modem.
Cheers,
Wilson.
Yo!Wilson,
You're totally awesome! Took approx 40sec to download (5MB Broadband connection)!
How did you do that...?
BTW, I broke PG. Will post info under "Bug Report"

Hi Wilson...I've been trying to download our group for a couple of weeks now. I get timed out regardless of what I do....with DSL my speed is approx 70mss/min, and I limited my download to 200 messages at 65 minute intervals, and I still get timed out (at 178 this time!). Everything changes each time I try. Getting very frustrated! If all I can do is 100 or so at a time...it would take forever to download 40K messages!
Any chance you'd download our group (it's got open archives) and put it in your archives. We're under "health" at Yahoo (but it's really a spirituality/metaphysics group. We got over 41,000 messages and almost 500 members. Been around for 6 years. I bet a ton of our members would want to download the messages (and your program) if it was easy to do this.
Our Yahoo group name is "Reconnections".
Thanks.
Nina
Nina,
I'm DL'ing your group. I'm up to 32000 & hope to get the rest of it for you later today.
Cheers,
Wilson.
