Default Source peters out

Hi

This is a not uncommon problem. You are not doing anything wrong. If the download will not restart of its own initiative, it is kill or cure time. Assuming that you have kept the original hit list containing the source host, kill the download and restart the download. If the problem was one of traffic management, you will kick the source back into life and continue downloading from the point it left off.

So always keep the hit lists from which you are downloading — do not let them drop off the end of your search list by default.

And take a pragmatic view of what you have downloaded. The incomplete file will be around for as long as you want. Future searches for the same source can complete the download days later if necessary.
