Downloading just stopped, connection is OK, server is active

Postby chroma601 » Wed Dec 02, 2015 11:35 am

I got about 4.8 GB down from a 6GB download, and Newsbin just stopped downloading. No error messages. I'm finding I can get the rest of the articles from the server using another downloader. But of course I'd prefer to use Newsbin. How does one troubleshoot this? Using 6.62, build 4358 on a 64 bit Windows 10 machine. Tried Resume and Restart commands, but it just sits there. Says it's Running, Full Speed, but 0 Kbps speed.

So you restarted Newsbin and it's still not downloading? You see no error messages in the logging tab?

You could give this one a try.

I didn't restart. I left it open and went to do some errands. When I returned in 45 minutes, the download had resumed and was almost finished. It did finish and properly extract the content. I have no idea why it stopped, but I'm happy it resumed the download after an hour's time and finished the job.

It's a test version. Has some fixes but mostly it's testing something that might indicate where some stalling might happen.
