Yah, it was bittorrent being dumb.  

I did a web search on bittorrent and the error number it was giving and
found many people with the exact same problem.  The only solution seemed
to be to empty your ie cache and then it worked.  Normally I don't like
modifying the working parts of my system for a non working piece of
software but then I thought, wait, im talking about windows. :D

So I emptied it and it worked.

Thanks for the help none the less.

On to plucker specific discussion, is there a page number limit to what
plucker can handle?

My design problem is I have access to a 7000 part catalog system with
each part being in one of about 200 categories. (So 200 pages there)
plus another of its own description page. Plus its own thumbnail image
and finally some of them have a larger image.

Is plucker going to be able to handle roughly 8000pages and maybe 10000
large and small images?

If it cant I can always just do my database by catalog category page.
Which would reduce the catalog size to about 400 pages and only about
7000 images.  But it would have been real nice to have the detailed info
on the items.

I tried running plucker last night with the desktop and it got to what
seemed down to like the last 50 pages before it froze.  Since I went to
bed to let it run I have no idea if it was frozen for a long time or
not.  But I couldn't see anyway to get it to exit gracefully so I killed
it and ultimately had to reboot.

Any idea if I mirrored the pages locally to my own machine first and
pluckered them locally if that would make it a little less unstable and
maybe make in those last pages? Or am I hitting some sort of invisible
data size limit such as python's files only getting so big or plucker's
database only holding so much?

I know I am shooting in the dark but I prefer high tech solutions to low
tech. If I REALLY had to I could go ahead and spend the time to make one
giant pdf file and use it with something else, but since the database is
originally in web page form I thought it would be super slick to use
plucker to solve the problem instead of converting it. :D (Plus it would
be real nice to be able to rerun plucker once a month instead of having
to re-edit a pdf file :D)

Not that it will help you, but I have used these .torrent files with 
three different BitTorrent clients on Linux and they have all worked
just fine....

I doubt it will be days (rather weeks if ever), since we will make a
new release in a few days.
