- BACKGROUND
-
- I recently decided to download and install the Internet Movie Database.
-
- MY SETUP
-
- Amiga 4000/040 with 18mb RAM. A Seagate 120mb HD and a Quantum 540mb HD
- ( both IDE ). Workbench 3.1
-
- PROBLEM
-
- After installing the Movie Database I decided to update it with the diff
- files on Aminet. As soon as I started to update using Applydiffs ( v1.2 ), I
- was told that all my list files > 200k ( approx.) had CRC errors and couldn't
- be updated. The list files looked OK and Movie Database program had no problem
- using the files to generate the database. The partition I installed on is FFS.
-
- I then tried installing the Movie Database on a OFS partition. When I went to
- update with Applydiffs this time I was told all my files were OK except the
- Actors diff file was not the correct diff file .After checking the actor diff
- file - it was OK , I checked the main actor.list file ( this file is over
- 18mb ), whenever I tried to read it with my text editor, it always started
- reading the file part way through the file .
-
- Has anyone experienced problems as I have described above ? On my FFS
- partition will changing the MAXTRANSFER or MASK values help ? ( They are
- currently 0xffffff and 0x7ffffffe ).
-
- Note: I am using the correct diff files and both partitions check out OK with
- Disksalv.
