No.
You should not have this problem if no scripts have been modified.

I've read through this entire thread and surprised that no one else has seen this error.

This happens on the same message number repeadedly. I've removed the forum, created a new one, and initiated a download. It always stops at this message with this error:

Getting message number 567216: PHP has encountered a Stack overflow

When I adjust the message number to skip it via admin CP, it works fine and then again I get the message:

Getting message number 567237: PHP has encountered a Stack overflow

Any suggestions?

On a seperate note:

I set up the gateway on another board. Instead of the attachments getting decoded, I'm getting the raw data inserted into posts.

for example:

=ybegin line=128 size=111070 name=image-4.jpg
))=J*:tpsp*+++*r*r**)*m*-,,-,,----.--./2//../411026466545578<:78;855:@:;=}>???69AB@>B<>?>)*m+-.././3//3>757>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>)?*;2,?+?-+L*,;+-;+)?*F**,-++++*********-.,/0*1+2)?*E+*,-+++**********+,*-./01)*6-+*,:-:**+?5ո

The image import works fine on the other board, but for the life of me I can't figure out why this isn't working on board #2.

Ideas?

Is there any way to make this script use multiple connections, as it can be slow at importing large Newsgroups?

Yep, it would certainly speed up the import process on my end, too. But I'm not sure it's easily feasable :rolleyes:

How about the ability to mark the currently ported newsgroup as "locked". This way, one can run multiple instances of gateway.php, and each instance would import a different newsgroup (skipping the currently locked newsgroups).

I know, I know. It's not what you're asking, but it will help if you're importing several ng at once, no?

I would like this options also. Sometimes some of my newsgroups gets alot of post all of a suden and then i don't get download from all of the groups because it takes so long to download the new groups.

Is it normal for the time of the imported messages to be the time they are actually imported into the local forum rather than the time they are posted on USENET? I just installed the hack, and 3,008 messages were uploaded with the same time on each one.

Yes, this is normal since the times displayed are the times the post was posted to your forums. If you have 3800 messages, most likely that took a while so the older messages will be a couple minutes or more older than the newest messages.

There is an option to set post time to the time it was posted to usenet. Option number 11, I beleive, on usenet_settings.php.

anyone else have issues with pictures?

I pull down pictures from a drag racing usenet forum. They come across fine as attachments in the forums, but they pictures appear to have been decoded improperly. There are colorbars and distortion in the images. If I pull the pictures down with a newsreader, they look fine.

Ideas?
