I would really like the ability to group similar newsgroups together.  For example, in order to browse all newsgroups of a certain genre.  I think this would be tremendously useful.

Also, URD should be smart enough to group posts from multiple newsgroups into a single set when they are cross-posted.

Cheers

I should mention I'm running URD 1.0.2-1~getdeb1.
I can fix the problem after downloading by running:

Code:

convmv -f iso-8859-15 -t utf-8-strict --notest *

It should not be necessary to do this, however.

I just started using URD for the first time, and  like the idea but so far it is mangling filenames.  E.g., if I try to download "01 Prélude à l'Après-midi d'un Faune.mp3" it looks like "01 Pr?lude ? l'Apr?s-midi d'un Faune.mp3".  It appears to be storing the filenames in iso8859-15 while I am running utf-8.  Now, this particular file was also validated by par2 with no errors, so it seems par2 is able to read the file names correctly.

Surely others must have come across this issue before?  Any ideas on how to solve it?  I did a little testing, and my PHP writes out these accented characters in utf-8 as it should, so it must be buried in the URD code somewhere.

Thanks
