What software and service provider are you using? I have been using
Downloader for years (back in the old DOS days and am currently working with
2 data providers. Lately I've had all kinds of problems with my data
providers (I think). It took me 3 tries to download my stuff off CompuServe
last night. Couldn't even download my data from Prophet even after 6 tries.
Reviewed the Capture.txt file each time and the downloader quit in a
different place each time. All with a transmission or checksum error.
