How to know what is junk in cache and what is queue

Version: 0.5.0 Final
OS: Vista
Install-type: Windows Installer
Skin (if applicable): Plush
Firewall Software: Vista
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? n/a 

I have a couple of SAB installs on portable 1TB drives to dl from remote locations.  When the drive fills, I transfer SAB to a new drive and continue.  Problem I ran into was the cache had 70,000+ files in it, way too slow to transfer.  Thought the cache had just dled parts so I delete everthing older than my incomplete files.  Looks like I deleted my queue.

My question is there any way to tell between cache junk files and needed files?

One good thing from this is that a smaller queue seems a little better.  SAB was hanging on sorting by date at startup.  Had to edit the ini after looking at log file and saw line after line of sorting.

No, you cannot.
That's the reason the next release 0.6.0 will have a different queue design
so that this problem is finally resolved.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I guess I will have to manage with a smaller queue for now.

Is there an eta for v6?

0.6.0 is in closed Alpha testing.
The problem is not the size of the queue, but the way articles are left
behind for various reasons.
