unable to download certain file type

[jwho]

I am able to snag most media types from movies, tv, xbl games and I have tested this with various types and sizes. At the current moment I am not able to snag any full game files as it ticks a few kb but never ramps up and it just runs the download down without actually grabbing any files. Looks to have happened out of nowhere. I just updated to 0.7.3 and it is still exhibiting the same behavior. At first I thought it may be throttling based on file size so I tested a 25gb file and it worked just fine.

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Chances are that the material just isn't on the Usenet server.
Either because it's too old or the Usenet provider had to remove it due to a DMCA takedown notification.

tried multiple files and have never seen this happen once in the 4 years I have been doing this. Everything is fine but these games which lends credence to what you are saying, but at the same time makes no sense with them being brand new and within server retention.

Try with another program. If Grabit fails too, you know it's not on the server.

I appreciate it. Tried several files all doing the same thing and I was able to get one to go and I'm going to see if it finishes. Odd thing was it was about 1/3 of the one down when it looks like it got pulled yesterday, just find it odd that this has never one been an issue in the past, and 5 recent titles all seem to be pulled. Really appreciate the quick response.

It happens often nowadays.
