Ok Here's the problem i try to define i have my isp and a payserver setup as primary servers my isp has almost 30 days retention but doesn't have al the groups and together with my payserver i can download at maximum speed.

When one of the articles isn't complete on one of the servers mostly my isp it doesn't get catched up by the other server when i use NL it does get catched up using the 2 as primary i know that i can setup my payserver as secondary but then i wouldn't enjoy the speed i'm enjoying now, what i do now is to temp disable my isp server but i think there should be a better solution for this.

I hope the problem is clear it's difficult for me to define.

i understood: you've got an isp server with 30 days retention and too little groups and a pay one which has all the groups (and better retention?)... but only using them paralell gives u full speed... so far so good the question is why does the backup server doesn't fullfill your needs? but maybe there is some kind of misunderstanding how primary and secondary work... you can use one server as primary and secondary

in your case i would arange it like this:

Primary 1 ISP - Backup Pay
Primary 2 Pay - Backup ISP

the only problem would be that it might happen is that you exceed your number of conections, but that shouldn't be a problem. so as long as both servers have the file you have full speed otherwise only the speed of the server who has the file...

I understand your solution, but it shouldn't be necesary when i use others it just works and it avoids the exceed of connections, i will reserve a view lines for it, thanks anyways for the answer
