Hi. I haven't recieved any new messages from Fidonet. Here's my lost poll results:

Does anyone know whats going on with "Failed to recieve whole file" ? What could be the cause? What would cause a time out?

Looks like the last update to BINKIT was 2 months ago. The problem is

about a week old. Is it safe

to say an update is not causing this? I just want to make sure I'm looking

in the right place. ;-)

That's hard to say for sure. The main BinkIT script was updated two months ago, but other scripts that it depends on have been updated since then.

This could be a bug on our end, or it could be your hub trying to send something corrupt. At a glance it looks like they're sending you a bogus file size and then potentially a nearly empty file (that's a rough guess on my part). However, maybe BinkIT is handling the file size incorrectly or something.

Are you receiving *anything* from this remote host, or is this preventing it altogether?

I wonder if anyone else is seeing similar problems. I have nothing like it in my log.

Judging by the timestamps in your log, this isn't a timeout even though the message says otherwise.

Looks like the remote side started transferring a file, maybe included a bad packet header, then sent nothing more.

The size of the file looks suspect: 4194304.0KB

Thank you for your reply. I suspected the problem might be from my hub as I haven't made any changes in my config or Areafix in a long while. It was working fine up until a week ago. I have sent my coordinator an email but he's quick to deny something is ever wrong on his end. Let's see how it goes. Hopefully BINKP notifies the SysOp when a transfer isn't complete. Thank you again.

Yeah, I saw that too.

Yeah, that value looks suspicously like 0xffffffff (-1).

There could be a bug in BinkIT, but this could also be something weird going on at your hub. Maybe ask if they see anything weird waiting for you there.

I suspect the sending system is having some issue.
