Yes, the problem is caused by a weak wireless connection, however, rhythmbox should be tolerant of unreliable networks (if a packet is missing or damaged it should re-request it) or at a bare minimum flag the download as failed and allow you to restart it. It should not mark it as downloaded, only have part of the audio and then refuse to let you redownload it, forcing a manual download.
For eg, Firefox never part-downloaded a file but marked it as complete when i was on the poor network, nor wget, aptitude, etc, etc. Rhythmbox is the only program to show this behaviour, the other all either produce a perfect download or recognise that it has failed. So to summarise, the rhythmbox bug is marking failed downloads as successful. It may be an issue for upstream not ubuntu (although its a core ubuntu application), and i'll report upstream if it happens again, but it is a fault with the way rhythmbox responds to damaged/missing network packets. PS: "As said i'm not seeing this behavior, that works fine for me" I was inquiring to kemel as to weather this was when he/she saw the issue, i read above that you have been unable to reproduce the issue. 2008/10/16 Pedro Villavicencio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > As said i'm not seeing this behavior, that works fine for me, so the > problem was a weak wireless connection, closing the bug then, thanks. > > ** Changed in: rhythmbox (Ubuntu) > Status: Incomplete => Invalid > > -- > Rhythmbox frequently fails to compleatly download podcasts > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244383 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. > -- Phrase of the [period of time 'till I change it]: "I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code." -- Rhythmbox frequently fails to compleatly download podcasts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244383 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
