We found a problem in The DownLoader 6.52 convert function when the
source file is large. We are testing a fix for that right now. If it
passes my test, I'll send it to those that need it immediately for you
to try. It only applies to conversions.

Jim, Ian +All
The Downloader was reading+writing to the hard disk before the Patch
as well. Even to the 4x wave character (" ~ ") in the name marked files.
One of the new files is the convert log file " Conrept.dta ", but
reading this
file is not so easy because of the " .dta " being choosen as the file
type.
Also I asume this is also so choosen as the file is to be part of the
Downloaders' system file-set.
So be carefull in usage when accidently Editing the file. For safety
reasons
a viewer might be better to be used, but surely never let any program
overwrite the file, apart from the Equis program.
The Downloader is indeed one of the slowest updating-programs around,
but
also here are some tips on using to Convert with the Downloader
'smoothly'
and to be added to the List's DL-Tips List :
In DL
-Do NOT EVER keep more then 100 - 200 securities stored in one(1) folder
-'Always' apply Traverse Folders option in Convert Dialog's
Option|Destination TAB
-Keep clean folders by running the Test Tool once in a while
-Test data files regularly for main errors using the Test Tool
-Update daily/regularly
-Do historical or refreshing sessions at times when you can be away from
the computer
-Always delete any of the above (" ~ ") wave character marked files
-Use ASCI-TXT for daily data and Excel4.0 sheets for historical data
In Win95/98/NT:
-Do not have screensavers running while converting
-Use the Downloader from a fresh clean Win95 boot start
-Run Scandisk and Defrag programs frequent on a regurelarly basis
-Automate any of your daily conversion jobs

Ton Maas
