I upgraded to the latest as of 0900 USET this morning. Just tried to
download a bluewave packet. The process gets through checking 5 or 6
areas, and then abuptly drops carrier.

I tried it a couple of times and got the same result, so I restored the binaries, utils, source, and anything else with an update date of today back
to my previous compile from sometime in March.

Hmm, I've not been able to reproduce this.. would it be possible to grab
a copy of your message bases?

I shall try to tar them all up and send them to you in a bit.

OK, I have a gzipped tarball. It is still over 62,000,000 bytes so I
cannot email attach it. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

You could upload it to my synchronet bbs, but you'll have to rename it to something 8.3 filename.

Good afternoon,
I just uploaded it as a personal upload to you. I renamed it
possum.gz from the original possum.tar.gz.

Thanks!

Thanks for that. I've set it up here, but still can't reproduce the
problem :(

Could you send me your ini files too? Perhaps that has something to do
with it..

They should be in that tarball. I included both the msgs and config
folders. I am not 100% certain, but I think it was hanging when it tried
to transition from the localmail.ini file (local group) to the fidonet.ini
file (fido group). Seems like I was seeing all of my local area names show
up before it hung.

I'm an idiot. I see you included them with the other archive... Sorry.

Hmm. I still can't reproduce it. It might be to do with the last read
pointers - could you try resetting all of them after upgrading and then download packets? (Keep a copy of your current setup obviously in case it doesn't work)

Resetting them to all read or just some arbitrary position?

I was thinking unread, and then seeing if downloading works. You will
have to do several packets though as your bluewave is limited to 5000
messages per packet.

Well, that might be easier said than done. I tried doing a git pull this afternoon and it aborted because it said I had changes that I needed to
commit first. As I have not changed users.c or any of the other source
code it had listed, I find this difficult to believe. As I don't want to
lose the code (in case I need to fall back due to this issue) I am leery
to remove the offending members.

Thanks!

That is odd.

unless when you restored your files last time you didn't restore the .git directory along with it. It may think it's still running a recent version
that has been modified back to an old version (if that makes sense?)

My suggestion is to make a backup of everything, the entire MagickaBBS directory, so you can delete the offending files and update cleanly, then
if it doesn't work just delete your MagickaBBS directory and copy the old
one back over.

Of course, if the version you are using is working for you and you are
happy with it the way it is, don't worry about it :)

With it being a 'dot' directory, I wonder if I indeed did not restore it!
I will go ahead and back it up, remove the files it complains about and see what happens next. Thanks!
