Jamie, Mike and all. this is a good build and the "bugs" I have had are listed below and "fixed". EXCEPT one which I may have encountered.::::
In the "Partials Tab", on Saturday, I had 7-8 Partial downloads I've been playing with(none successful yet ;>( ), On Saturday my SETTINGS were "keep partials for 120 days" and because my futhur/temp/ folder was getting to be in excess of 1.3GB, I first opened the futhur/temp/ folder and proceeded to delete shows which "DID NOT" show in my "Partials tab". So far so good,.... then I change SETTINGS in furthur to "keep partials for 3 days". (I still had the futhur/temp/ folder Open and low and behold "all, and I mean ALL of the files and folders, EXCEPT 4 folders, just "up and disappeared". My Partials Tab, now has 6 partials and the futhur/temp/ folder has 4 folders.(<<<shouldn't that be 6?) Anyways, left Furthur on overnight (mutiple download syndrome in the morn=yes). the next morning (maybe after restarting Furthur), my Partials Tab now only has 4 Partials. I was close to finishing the 2 that disappeared. email any questions, if I'm not being clear. I believe that once these shows are "available" again, I'll be able to resume them. ...and That is a "good thing". Now I just gotta remember what they were....(jus kiddin') wallyb > All, > The number of e-mails going across the list is decreasing, is it safe to > assume that most of you are having success downloading shows with > Furthur?
