Failed downloads succeed after trying again

Post by stillhopeful »

Hi,

I have a couple of downloads that fail at first but succeed once I babysit the download and try to download specific failed parts again. The same file parts fail at first and succeed later using the same Usenet server and have left me very confused. What might be at play here?

The post might be very young and replication between Usenet servers isn't complete yet.

I increased Maximum retires under Switches>Server to 9 and disabled other servers. This seems to have fixed it!
