Unable to download

[Meredith]

Oh yes, that would be wonderful!  You can send it to mperuzzi (at) gmail (dot) com.  Thank you so much!  How long did it take to download?

Hi Meredith,

It took me about 10 mins I think.  I sent you an email with a link in it as your ISP rejected my email with the zip file attached.

Cheers,

Wilson.

For some reason that e-mail isn't coming through either.  ???

Can you PM the link to me?  I also don't mind having the archives available to the public if you want to post it with other archived groups.

Hi Wilson,

Now PGO seems to download about 90% of the messages.
I use the patch 2.5.10.

In the group "colloidalsilver2" I can't download
the following messages: 17669, 17671, 17674, 17685
I downloaded 17665-17695. I can look on them with the browser.

In the log-window I get the diagnose: "Error: Invalid page format"

Regards,

Peter

Hi Peter,

I just had a really bad day here. I was getting that same error & then I couldn't download anything at all. My Access database had exceeded 2 GB (which its not allowed to do). Can you check the size of your database?

I'll check out those messages for you & see what happens when I try to DL them.

Cheers,

Wilson.

Peter,

I just downloaded 17665 thru 17700 without a hitch.

Please check your database size. If its too big (i.e. > 2GB) the first thing to do is start MS Access & open your database file (ygroups.mdb) & then choose Tools---> Database Utilities--> Compact & Repair database. This will remove temporary files & release some storage space. Next you should think about creating a 2nd database & transferring half the groups to it by doing an Export from the first group & an Import in the 2nd group. Then go back to the first group & delete the Exported groups followed by another Compact & Repair in Access.

Cheers,

Wilson.

Hi Wilson,

My database is 435 MB. I compacted it with Access and it is now 422 MB. I still could not dowload the 4 messages 17669, 17671, 17674, 17685 when I downloaded 17665-17700.
Even when I try to download only the 17674 message I get "Invalid page format".

I have also started from scratch with an empty database and get exactly the same result.

Are you sure you downloaded all messages?

Regards,

Peter

Peter,

There seems to be a problem with this group when using the single message download method. I used this & got the same errors you did. I tried using the Message Chaching method & it seems to get round this.
Alex is invetsigating the problem but I suggest for the moment, you enable Message Caching.

File--> Options--> Download  tick the checkbox  'Enable Message Caching'.

Cheers,

Wilson.
