I tried now in windows aswell, same problems
also with firefox and IE7

download starts only with firefox, and at about 14mb it stops

Tried again with links (console browser)

same problem.
After about 12-13mb Bad HTTP response.

Is there a chance you delete the gzipped file to soon?

Any progress ????

I have just downloaded a 60 MB backup file - no problems whatsoever! Wee, it might actually be working now

Cheers,

Louise

I'll give it a try, but it was no go on Saturday

Just tried again
same error, after 11 or 12 mb download error

Penguin, if it worked for hejlouise, on .DK -- a "bug free" domain at the moment -- but not for you, on a .BE forum, then I start to wonder if the other problems on .BE affect the backups too.

Apart from the Trojan etc problem, there are loading problems, and some other glitches as well on .BE (and .US), and it would in a sense be strange if the backups were not affected by all this...

Just a thought, and no real help, I know...

Backup not working on .DK anymore - i.e., I receive a link, and am able to request the backup, but not gzip it - and therefore the result is an incomplete backup file. Have sent an email to

, hopefully Raulken can help.

An update:

Backup actually working fine, but our forum had grown so big that the file apparently couldn't be generated (or couldn't be zipped, 230000+ posts).

This shouldn't be a problem for most users, but it would be nice if Raulken or somebody else could for example delete the search indexes upon request, since they take up a lot of space.

Im not getting my email with the link, my email has no anti spam, whats going on please

Ruby, if you are using hotmail, then you will not get any emails from your forum, because hotmail has decided to block ForumUp .org, for no apparent reason. I made a test a got this message to my owner email:

Code:

Connected to 65.54.244.8 but sender was rejected. Remote host said: 550 OU-002 Mail rejected by Windows Live Hotmail for  policy reasons. Reasons for rejection may be related to content with  spam-like characteristics or IP/domain reputation problems.

But if your owner email is hotmail, it will not allow the rejection email from the "postmaster" to come through either, of course.

There are some more details in this topic:

So, if you are using hotmail, then you need to change the owner email (not just the Admin email, mind you), I'm afraid.

Yahoo works, for example.

my owner email isnt hotmail, its wanadoo.

still no email and now Ive gone below the 700,000 no ads needed to request it

does this mean I need to pay for more and whats the point if my link doesnt dome through

Ruby, I don't know what has happened in this case.

All I know is that the backups are still in development, and there are glitches, and unsuspected problems, of different kinds. For example the problem with the too big zip file from big forums, described by Hejlouise, above.

Several forums on the .ORG domain had Debug Modes a little less than a month ago, and a couple of forums "crashed" on the server harddrive. Perhaps this affected something in connection to the backups. But that's just speculation based on logic...

I will report your problem to Raulken, because he is the only one who can look into it properly.

FoxLeonard

thank you

still no news, still no back up
