So, I'm running an older version of SmartFTP (probably 4-5 months old at least) with a rather large global queue.
The queue has 3 different ftp sites on it, I have it set up to run one thread per site and have 3 sites total.
At the problem point, I had 2 active sites, 1 waiting (max connections) and connected to a 4th site manually (that initially had no entries in the queue).
I dropped the number of queue connections to two (so it wouldn't hit the site I was currently connected to) and dragged a few directories to the queue list. This was directly to the queue list since I had a default download dir set up.
Lo and behold, since I was dropping them to the top end of the list, when a file finished it tried to connect to the site I was on, and sat waiting to retry after it got denied with too many connections. Which was fine. I finished adding dirs to the list, closed the connection window, and went to restart the queue manually. I clicked the Stop button and got a Visual C++ Runtime Library dialog box stating:
Went to restart SmartFTP, got the same error.
Went to website, got the backup util, and did both a full backup and a data backup, then reset the settings to default, started up fine.
I have since upgraded to the latest development build, rebooted, restarted, and have isolated the problem to the file Queue.dat. If the backed up version I had is placed in C:Documents and Settings(username)Application DataSmartFTP then SmartFTP will refuse to start, with the same runtime error as above.
The Queue.dat file in question can be found here:
http://www3.telus.net/~m7551213/Queue.dat
While I'm not entirely sure if the bug is reproducable to a fix, if there's any way to get the unfiinished queue downloades back from that file I would really like to know.
Also, an odd thing, the cab file created by the backup tool has Queue.dat listed twice, and even attempts to extract both copies. They are identical files though.
Current System Info follows, I'm angry at myself for not grabbing a copy with the old version I had, but such is life I suppose...
