Corrupted Headers

Postby Skylark » Sun Dec 03, 2017 9:47 am

I have recently started getting a lot of corrupted headers across all groups with the message - Incomplete. Missing information for download.

It seems to be specific to my PC so I'm guessing that I have a corrupted database somewhere. What is the best way to proceed please ?

It might mean nothing. Not all the fields in the headers are absolutely required. The error doesn't suggest a DB problem to me. You see that during import when fields are missing. If it's a real problem it could be a bug, or it could be a server problem or it could mean not much.

OK thanks.
I'll backup everything and try a clean install which is long overdue anyway and see what transpires.

Unless you detect a problem, I'd probably not do anything.
