Incorrect date posted for releases #75

In comparing different indices, I see that nzbm will often mistake the added/backfill date for when the item was actually posted on usenet. You can see how this would be a nightmare when polling results through the API. I'm not sure if this is a regex issue that's index specific or if it's a universal thing that can be fixed. One such example is the index usenet-crawler if you would like to test it out. I've found that moving a problem index from newznab host (API) to newznab host (Web) will sometimes fix the issue.

There are many things that play a role. Each nab site has its own date format, there are sites that use GMT shift, sites that do not, sites that have 12h format, sites with 24h format. Add to this that some others mess up posted and added dates. Nzbmega tries its best to interpret it.

Many related issues have been greatly improved in 045_RC. you can check that out.

Yeah, I suppose there are a lot of variables to account for. Thanks for the reply and big fixes.
