Problems Downloading Groups

[Bill Bradshaw]

I was traveling for about 3 weeks so I did not download any groups.  I am now having problems downloading my groups.  Anybody else having a problem?  Have installed the latest version (3.0.67).

Today I've been getting the dreaded "Invalid page format" error.

Hi Guys,

Which groups are a problem? All groups? Some groups? Just private groups?

We are investigating an IPF error thats happening on just one group. This could be the same thing.
If you can give me an example I can check it out.

Cheers,

Wilson.

Hi Wilson

I am having trouble downloading as well.

Started yesterday afternoon. After I just upgraded my Autocad to latest version.

That included a lot of new .net stuff as well. I don't know if this is significant.

long delay at this point

This happens on 2 different databases. I upgraded to latest version but still have the problem.


One clue maybe is that the software appears to lock for some time, possible minutes during which time the stop button does not work.

Wilson this is the same error i reported almost a week ago. It seems as if Yahoo has changed the page layout around and ur program isnt finding the right info... I need a fix pronto if possible as this software is critical for what i do - Its getting a bit frustrating that there seems to be so many bugs croping up.

I started seeing this problem yesterday.  I think it is happening on a variety of groups.  The one that download is hanging on right now is ASCOM-Talk, number of messages: 17004, Recieve message: 16958.  PGOffline has been frozen at this point for at least 10 minutes. 

Must be a new Yahoo format or other blocking mechanism.  In my case, the first group had no new messages, and the second group is where things are hung up.  So, I've dowloaded nothing today. 
This means it is not some sort of quota block by Yahoo.

Thanks,
Pete

A bit more information, this time on Gemini_Users:

But I just checked the messages, by way of online yahoo access,
and messages 21756 through 21763 do exist.  Under group settings,
the high message is now reset to start at 21764, so I will need
to reset this back down to 21756 once the problem is fixed.

Running PGO v3.0.65

Thanks,
Pete

I'm having problems downloading all my groups.  Apparently Yahoo is moving the groups to a new data center.  They say they will have them moved by March 31.

Like other's have mentioned it seems to be effecting all my groups.  I'm getting the same errors listed above.

I am getting all of the above.  My groups are aerovee, sonexcanada, sonexplans and sonextalk.  It has been happening since the 25th of March.  I tried using IE and making sure I was logged into each of the groups but this didn't help.

I think its this problem previously mentioned.

http://www.ygroupsblog.com/blog/2009/03/19/even-groups-gets-the-hiccups/

I'll have a look at making a fix for it but with the groups system in transition I may be chasing a moving target.

Cheers,

Wilson.

They have changed things on us a couple of times before.  I can wait until things settle down.

Not so sure about that; the above refers to messages not appearing on Yahoo, but some of my groups have messages viewable directly on Yahoo that I'm unable to retrieve via PGOffline. I haven't checked all my groups (I have lots, and don't want to have to manually reset the "start receiving messages at number x" setting to get the messages once things settle down), but all the ones I've checked are affected. I get the same behavior others have mentioned: long delay, then either a time-out or an "invalid page." I think I have also received a "message not exist" for some groups..

[Wilson Logan]

I think its too much of a coincidence not to be this Yahoo move.

We're looking at it now but I'm loathe to make changes to PGO before Yahoo complete their data center move on the 31st.

Cheers,

Wilson.

Eh, for what is worth ... I'm seeing the same problem reported by others.  None of my groups will update.  It just seems to hang after message number is reported.... I'm not patient enough to wait for anyu additional error messages from PGO...

Guess I'll just be patient until after the transition at yahoo...
