Update program re-fetching everything?
Hi,
From time to time, the VO update program has decided to download everything. It has probably happened 3-4 times, both on Windows and Linux. It's doing it right now too. Has anyone else experienced this or have an explanation?

It happens if the filesystem is full or any of the .rlb files in the vendetta directory are modified, afaik.
Last time this happened to me, the answer was *you have bad ram* - I thought this was ridiculas, and continued on blaiming the vendetta client - a few weeks later, I decided to get off my high horse, and run memtest86, surely enough, bad ram!
The reason I thought it not to be bad ram, was because I could predict when it was going to download everything, I would get the error message *Unable to open Itani_distant.ogg* when flying into Itani space, pretty much the same sector, and always Itani_distant.ogg, anyway, replaced the ram in my system, and voila!
(And yes, roguelazer is correct, if you have less than 1 gigabyte of free space, the media.rlb will become corrupted AFAIK this is because the media.rlb file is highly compressed, and needs this space to decopress/recompress.)

it's more like 100mb.

I'm still having this problem :(
My C drive (only have the problem on Windows right now) has 6+ GB free, I have been running ram tests and found no problems. I've suspected my virus program (AVG Free), but it happened after I disabled it too. Did you have the problem on Linux yoda?
I'm not blaiming the VO updater really, but rather trying to find what is changing the rlb file (ifthat _is_ what happens).

I had the issue in Windows and Linux, but it only seemed to effect VO (Maybe because of the way it uses RAM, but I dunno), so if its working in Linux for you and not Windows, I have no ideas, sorry!
