Broken files on the FTP #2

axehandle - 29-8-2004 at 16:21

It would be a good idea for broken files, be they failed uploads or otherwise broken files, to be reported here. It gives me a focal point to watch and delete files as necessary.

Just downoloaded "the war gases" and a PDF: toxic phosphorus and fluorine compounds from chemoleo's uploads, the war gases PDF is broken, message: could not repair file whilst the first page
of the phosphorus fluorines is functional but the rest of the PDF is broken and will not load.

Both those files are fine, at least with the reader I used (Adobe Reader 6.0.2)

I can't open the file "Organic Synthesis Archive.pdf" in the upload-folder. I've downloaded it twice, but Adobe Acrobat 6 says, the file is damaged and could not be repaired. Since it is a pretty new file (23.09), I don't know, if it's really damaged or just need to be completed by resuming the upload?

ok its my fault. after much work i find out that my server is less than crap:mad: i cant send more than 55+- megs at once ive tryed 3 differnt pc's thinking that it was something to do with my pc.....if axehandle will kindly trash the files,ham radio software,org synth archive i would be in his debt...im very very sorry for any problems i might have caused..im realy starting to think that i just need to copy my collection and snail mail it to someone so they can upload it using a better server..ps the file you tryed to load should be 135megs/9000+ pages again im very sorry...:(:(:(

No problem. If you want, I can upload the files for you. For this you can send them to my gmail-account (I think it should store 1 GB; check your PM for the adress). But do you think the files won't get corrupted by sending them via email? Normally they also shouldn't get corrupted via ftp.

Edit:
Sorry I didn't read your post very careful. I thought about email and not real mail:)

Sarcosuchus: The file "Organic Synthesis Archive.pdf" is as you said 135 MB large. You uploaded only 68 MB. Even if your server cuts the connection, you can resume the upload on the point, where it stopped. Most ftp-client can do this (SmartFTP, FlashFXP; By uploading the file again, the program asks you, if you want to resume the upload.) So you should be able to complete the other files.

I've found a complete version of "Organic Synthesis Archive.pdf" and uploaded it myself, although this file isn't very interesting, as the information there are just copied from orgsyn.org. [color=darkgreen]/upload/Mephisto/Organic Synthesis Archive.pdf[/color] is the right file and [color=darkred]/upload/Organic Synthesis Archive.pdf[/color] could be deleted.

happy day

Corrupt journal aricles

While in search of JACS and JOPEP journal articles i found the following to be corrupt. All were in the upload directory on axehandle's FTP.

If anybody has info as where these files and the other journal articles originated from, could they please post. Also info on where others might be found would be appreciated.

well its been a long while,but for what its worth ive tryed to upload some more to the ftp not to sure how it went....so if axehandle you could check the upload file for any broken(sigh!)files when you get around to it . the date for this download was 6/27/05 sorry for any problems

Thankyou for your efforts sarcosuchus.

At least the winzip archive of edonkey links is corrupt which you recently uploaded to axehandle's FTP. I also tried "Van Der Woude--Catalysis Of Diels-Alder Reactions In Water.pdf", and it was seemingly fine.
