Get rid of annoying "REQUERY" downloads.....Read this
 

After my "REQUERY" files wouldn’t download, I did some investigating/troubleshooting, and found the following.

When the file/download came back "REQUERY", regardless of where it was in the downloading process, (i.e. just started, in the middle or end), I’d kill the download and go back to the original file, in my search results, and download it again. I also was able to use files with the same name, but different searches and/or grouped files for re-downloading.

When I did this, 9 times out of 10, the file began downloading right away even if the download was terminated before completion. When the download was killed, a copy stayed in the incomplete folder. This file is important cause when I re-loaded the download, the new download took up where the killed one left off.

Rebooting made a couple of "REQUERY" download’s start, but not enough to make it worth the time and trouble of rebooting.

When I downloaded a grouped set of files, and received a "REQUERY" or similar message, I tried downloading them individually one by one. I found the downloads started right away, or a "WAITING POSITION IN LINE IS…."

I've only received a "CAN NOT MOVE TO LIBRARY" message once and that was today. I had been logged on for hrs and downloaded lots of files. It had nothing to do with illegal characters, based on my previously downloaded file names. If you’re having this problem a downgrade may help

I'm cross posting this here and the Download/Upload forum, because it directly effects both. These solutions may not for everyone, depending on computer, LW software, time of day etc.



Good Luck,
