I have tried downloading several files from BBC`s website. And i keep getting two problems:
1. When downloading, if there is a problem with data transfer (i.e. disconnection etc), Mass Downloader changes the length to how ever much is downloaded and make the status 100%. This mean that some files are only partially downloaded and the status comes across 100%. And since it does not change the extension of the file while downloading, you never know if it is complete or not until and unless you listen to it.
2. I keep getting 502 Bad Gateway error with many files, but after many tries and waiting for 10 mins, it connects to the server and starts the download.
I have been downloading the same files from BBC for over 1 year and have never had these two problems with NetXpress. So it seems that are not BBC server problems.
Please help!
Thank you for writing us.
