So does this mean that it would eventually clear as far as we are concerned....we would not have to do anything as it eventually send further downloads?

Files have been emailed.

I would if I knew where to mail them. The current and only solution is to detach and make a new client I guess. The "don't get task" will stop all afflicted cruchers once their buffer run dry.

It looks like the problem is over, as I did receive new (MCM) tasks again.

Unfortunately over 80 tasks that I had received just before the errors started, and 3 that waited for report, all erred out with messages like:
Never had that error before, so I wonder if it is related to the (fixing of the) problem of this thread.

I've started getting this problem now. I've a number of completed tasks so I've tried forcing an update so I can get new ones but I get;

I get no new tasks and my completed tasks don't complete.

I have this at the bottom of my reply file which I think is the "No close tag in scheduler reply"

<file_info>

    <generated_local

I've emailed this file to be looked at as well.

Edit:

I tried to force an update again and the bottom of the file changes;

<file_ref>
    <file_name>mcm1.dataset-17_72_SDG_v1.txt</file_nam

I looks like the xml file is not generated/sending completely.
