    g00r00,

    Are there any known issues with QWKpoll? I ask because I keep getting runtime errors when downloading qwk packets for dove-net from vert.

    It seems to be mostly larger packets, but I’m not sure, that’s more or
    less a guess.

    Also, it doesn’t happen every time I run qwkpoll.

    I haven't had anything reported to me, no. But that doesn't mean its not broken. I know some people are on DoveNet with Mystic or at least used to be. Any logs you can provide?

    I do regularly (every one hour) exchange echomail via Mystic's FTP mailer and the FTP code in QWKPOLL is the same. I can say that I've had no problems with fidopoll via FTP.

    I'm using qwkpoll here for dovenet and its working. The only issue I've ever had was if the packets got too large then it would sometimes cause an error when unzipping. I've gotten around that problem by having it poll every few hours and not let messages build up.

    Thanks for your feedback... I made a note to test with a large QWK packet although I am not quite sure how I am going to do that at the moment.

    Setup vert account for dovenetZ set your pointers for a few years back for
    all conferences.


    It will be huge

    I might do that. I may just setup a local QWKnet between a few Mystic BBSes here which is similiar to what I have for echomail testing. It'd probably be good to have a test network available anyway.

    I already have a bunch of message bases with 50,000 messages in them that I
    use for testing so I could just include one of those as a QWKnet base.

    It does it just about every time for me. Qwkpoll gets runtimes and messages just don’t import properly.
