OK, to recap. Server A has limited retention but is free to use. I give it top priority (1) and set the Typical Retention in the 'Really Advanced' section to 7 days. Server B has years of retention but costs to use. I therefore give it a higher priority value (so that I only use it if the posts no longer exist on Server A). I have been using these settings for years without problem.
What I am noticing now is that if I try to download something older than 7 days, instead of defaulting to server B, Newsbin continues to attempt the download from server A (and logging just fills up with 'message not on this server' messages).
If I manually disable server A, downloading from Server B starts immediately and download speed jumps from kbs to MBs. It is the need to manually intervene that makes me think there is a problem or that I have managed to mess up my settings at some point.
