w/u 532915 shows "Too many total results" as an error status. There are 3 valid results returned (all pending)and 5 "client error" "downloading". If 8 results is an error why did it send it out 8 times? Will the 3 of us "Pending" ever get credit? Thanx for any info, Skip - da shu @ HeliOS, "A child's exposure to technology should never be predicated on an ability to afford it." |

But, due to a bug, these wu failing to validate wasn't re-issued before the bug was fixed in December. After this bug was fixed, all "dead" wu with 3 "pending"-results was re-started with a fix-script, and 1st tried validated again. When failed validation, a new "result" was now generated and sent out. But, most likely due to one of the many server-crashes that have been between July & December, the wu-file had got corrupted so all new copies failed with download-errors. As for "too many total results", not quite sure, but most of the error-checks is only done after a new result has been returned. If the 8th result had been successful, this means would have been tried validated as normal and only if failing validation marked as error... Anyway, this wu is now dead, and no-one will get any credit for it. |
