any idea what i could do about it?

Hiya,

What about moving a problematic file to a working area and a working file to a problematic area ? Could be an internal move (filebase) or uploading those files again (duplicates). Don't forget to backup your filebase files etc.

Gtx!
sPI!

... Back up my hard drive? I can't find the reverse switch!

i tested it. it is the file attribut. when i set up a complete new filebase
and put 2 files in it one with readonly status the other without i can only download the one without the readonly attribut.

i guess i have to send a mail to g00r00 to adress this issue

hi,

i've an odd issue. i have some filebases (not all of them) where downloading files is no longer possible. the filepath is correct. the file is actualy there. mystic log-files just says "donwload file.name FAILED" and here is
what zmodem on the receiving ends tells me: "Warning recv_raw: Cancelled remotely Warning: recv_init: Received 16 instead of ZFILE or ZFIN"

that happens in older build fileareas and newer ones. other fileareas are working just fine. i also could not spot any unusual behaviour at the file listing or anything else that could point to a corrupted filearea index file.

any idea what i could do about it?

Are the file area's filenames standard 12345678.123? I've had this type of issue before with very long filenames, or those that contain characters that Linux doesn't like:

Star Trek - A new w0rld!!! & that other D*#(*@) software.zip

That's all I could think of off the top of my head, but wanted to at least post as I've had errors from this before.

It's likely not the reason but I notice you are running A43 and we're up to A48 in the public domain and some pre-alpha A49 versions of Mystic also. Just a thought.

Some other thoughts

- anything unusual about the file names being downloaded?
- does the filename in mystic match that of the name of the file on the HDD?
- if this is a local download do you have the same issue?
- what if you try another protocol to download?
- are all files in a certain file area impacted the same or just some?

nope that ain't it. i also run windows and the filenames and directories nameing schemes are plain as it gets.

hey that's perfect. you ask around to help yourself think outside the box and try thinks you didn't tought of before. so any suggestion is helpfull at this point.

well.... mystic being mystic, and i mean that in no offensive way, has
butcherd some updates very hard for me. so i always wait a long time before i encounter a feature i really want to have and start the upgrade path. there
was on time where the entire message base didn't work. but you're right it's possible time to catch up to a newer version.
