I was in the middle of downloading the s's when I got this message,
Database Results Error
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_ENV failed
One or more form fields were empty. You should provide default values for all form fields that are used in the query.

I was also downloading from mame world and started getting this error,
Error You were linked by a bandwidth thief!
So now I can't download anymore [img]images/smiles/icon_sad.gif[/img]

Hopefully this is just temporary and they haven't baned my IP. I guess I'm done for the night.

Totals for tonight equal;

1281 roms
for a total size of 1.16GB

I'm almost half way there.

I get the Bandwidth Theif message at dk sometimes when I try to use a download accellerator on certain roms. Sometimes it just doesnt want to connect. When this happens, if you shut down the accellerator and click the 'If you download doesnt start automatically' link without reloading the page I get the message.

Just takes a refresh or a quick click of the back button though.

I was getting the bandwith thief quite a bit on .dk last night. That and my poxy ISPs 2 hour cut-off seemed to be working together to stop me getting Eco Fighters.

Damn, DGROMS is still not working for me. Has my IP being banned or can someone else get in? Yesterday/day before I downloaded all flyers/shots/icons/cabinets from mame32qa and sometimes had a few problems with their two mirrors but not many, just use whichever one has the least users.

I'm getting the same error at dg still and I'm at a work. Mame seems to be up so hopefully I can still use it at home. And I never use download managers for the rom sites.

Yep, you don't need to use them because you have broadband. Us lowly modem users need them as a lost connection etc means that large downloads have to be restarted.

Getright works fine for me with all the MAME sites.

I can still get to mame world but dg is still down. With the Dg down my progress will come to a crawl.

Web Pages are tiny, and my news is updated via a CGI script (web based) so that is also easy to do. What takes time is uploading large emulators such as MAME.

I've just given up on using DAP to accellerate my downloads. When I paused my download last night it had resume supported and waited at 68%. I put it on this morning and the bastard connected to a non-resumable address to get the rest of the file and completely deleted the progress of the one it had started. Bullshit!
