418941	2006-01-07 12:34:00	Hi Pete It actually means there are too many people trying to download from the same server - hence logjam or whatever you want to call it. I too have had the problem. It's not permanent, and it's certainly not unusual. The answer seems to be not to panic, but just keep quietly trying until it works.	Laura (43)
418942	2006-01-07 21:53:00	ok...is that why it said 'bad checksum' ? Pete	Organicpete (133)
418943	2006-01-07 22:08:00	it said "bad checksum" cause the file is corrupt. thats often due to overloaded servers. however i have seen it when the updateing servers are not uptodate comparied tot he main server, ie your actually downloading the old files instead of the new ones. hence the old files don't match the new checksums and you get an error.	tweak'e (69)

418946	2006-01-14 07:29:00	So I got the bad checksum and then I got a detection that mentions something that looks arabic in nature. when I deleted this I lost all my "Favorites". Then I updated again -no bad checksum but same arabic ?writing came up so I lost my "favorites again. Also I cant remove Command service as it says things are being used " by memory? I'm not a geek so I could be in trouble?	rojip (9561)
