Previous Download Goes From 0 MB done to 900 MB Very Quick
Posted: February 20th, 2012, 9:12 am
Hello,
So I had an issue previously with horrible download speeds. I have that resolved, but now, I tried doing a download I had previously but when it finished it was pretty much corrupt, which didn't surprise me. I had a bunch of abrupt shutdowns and other issues when trying to resolve the speed issue. Anyway, I cleared out all the download stuff I could find, and now what it's doing is when I re-download the file and launch it, it will go from 0 MB downloaded to 900 MB (out of 9 GB total) in just a few seconds, then proceed normally at normal download speeds. Anyway, when it does this, the file does not complete correctly, and I have no clue where this 900 MB is coming from especially since I literally cleared everything I could find that's download related for this specific download, I even cleared my hard drives temp files a few times thinking that it might catch this random 900 MB. I'm using pretty much a majority of the default settings, I did change the download path after I resolved my download speed issue though thinking if I could trick it to thinking it was in a different place it would download fresh. Anyway, the only option I could think that I set that might have any bearing would be the Article Cache Limit to 128M since I have oodles of RAM and anything I can do to help with downloads resource-wise I would do.
