#Problem in Library 8
4 messages in this thread
There would appear to be something wrong with the files in Library 8. I
have tries to download Centur.zip three times today and each time the down
load failed, after several hundred bytes, with the message "Time out…".
The first time I tried to download I got 229 blocks into the files before
gettting the message. The second time I got 119. Then later in the evening
I got 536 blocks in before the download froze up. I am using the Access
telecomunications program and have not had any trouble downloading large
files before.
Paul,
I redownloaded CENTUR.ZIP and the program is intact. I don't know why
you have a failed transfer, it could be just about anything from a loose
serial cable to extremely noisy phone line. If you used a terminal program
that supported B+ protocol (JRComm and Whap come to mind) you could resume
the download at the point of failure.

Paul,
I'm not sure if this is the case, but suspect it is: I was on here
earlier today and the system was responding extremely slowly. It's quite
likely that this would have caused problems downloading, since there were a
number of times when the system seemed to "go to sleep" for 10 to 20
seconds at a time. It would have been extremely difficult to download a
file during that time period, as most protocol downloads do time-out after
a while. I'd try the download again when the system is behaving itself
better.
Hope this helps…

Paul,
I downloaded that file myself, using Access! last night…I didn't
have any problems. Not sure what the problem might have been, perhaps a
noisy phone line…or the CIS node may have been flakey.
