Downloads stop at 98% then restart WTF???????
 

What is going on here.... downloads will invariably STOP at 98% and often sit there for hours without finishing... if it was just one jerk who disconnected it would be one thing, but this happens so much that I don't think it is the other person... It doesn't happen all the time, and it usually only happens with big files 200mb+

while it stoping is annoying, but not that bad, what really ****es me off, is that the downloads will often restart at like 20% WTF is going on, that is a lot of data that is being lost! what happened to it... I'm not sure, but I think it only happens when I close the program when the DL is at 98% for a while, as I haven't observed a restarted download otherwise, but I haven't actually seen it revert, just see a download that I saw a while ago at 98% at 25% and get ****ed off....

WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE????

When downloading form multiple hosts XoloX verifies the segments before putting them together. If a wrongly served segment is encountered it will be dropped. Henche why you'll see a drop in percentage since that part was downloaded and needs to be downloaded again from another client.
Got that?

hmmm...
 

I guess it would be nice then if it checked more often, its annoying to lose 80% of a 700mb file, that is fairly rare, and took you several days to get!

guess this should go in feature request...

I have never seen Xolox droping more than a few percent when receiving wrong data, so no need for a feature request? I posted in another thread a possibility to speed up creating the final file, which will also limit possible looses. There has been no response so far.

First things first Moak.

I'm not talking about a few %
 

I'm talking about going from 98% to 20% in a 700mb file!

I can understand going back a few percent, but not 80% of the downloaded file... there was another post that someone asked the same question, but no one answered it...

is this what you are talking about mvoosten???

is that the error checking??? it doesn't seem like it would drop this much from the download.
thnx

mvoosten, didn't want to hurry :)

hmm...
 

Look in your registry un HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xolox and see if "dropincorrectsegments" = "0" or doens't exist. In the preferences this is "Drop and retry incorrect segments" but I don't know if the registry keys are created if you haven' t been to your preference tabs.

If you are on broadband and are downloading from a fast host, it's concevable that you may get a large amount of the file in one chunk, then XoloX goes to put the peices together and they don't match up... When "dropincorrectsegments" = "1" I think XoloX does the check after the fisrt 2K has been downloaded to see if it can be synched with the prior segment.

just looked... and
 

dropincorrectsegments="0"

which should it be? 1 or 0?
thnx

wait... no its 1
 

my bad... its 1, should it be 0?

register
 

Register and you can edit your posts. ;) Anyway, it should be set to 1 I think. I don't know why it would drop so much of a file though if that's what it's set to... perhaps a dumb question, but what version of XoloX are you running?

its version 1.12 i dunno whats goin on
 

but something isn't right!
