Resource download (up to 194.91 MB) coming tonight (2010-2-11)

I second that!

I don't think I got this. I have L4 Platinum. I wasn't running Logos overnight. When I started it up this morning and type "Update Now" it tells me no updates are available.

How do you know what your last update was and whether it is workign properly?

Thanks, Melissa. Always nice to know what is being updated.

This is great.  How can I find out this same information in the future?  Meaning when I see future updates coming where is the best place to find out the content of the download?

Thanks,

Chuck

The previous general download was 58 files on 13 Jan (I have the same). So are you missing any resources from Platinum as your index is consistent with the date you upgraded? Did you upgrade from DVD?

Sorry to be stupid, but how would I know if I am missing any? I don't know how to find that out. When I search for a passage, the stuff that I think should come up usually does, but I don't take careful stock to see. Is there some sort of program or script or something that can check
what is actually installed against the licenses that I own and should
have installed?

I know am missing some out of L3 (such as PNTC) that I thought was supposed to download all the Platinum resources. I got some of them through the download link, but not all apparently.

In L4, I upgraded strictly from download. I had L3 Gold installed, and then went to L4 (the free engine) and then to L4 Platinum from download.

"Update Resources" in the command bar (no quotes) instructs Logos 4 to check the versions of the books it has with the servers to see if everything is up-to-date. It can take quite a while to finish. Occasionally there are resources that Logos doesn't have the rights to distribute via a download (mostly older stuff) that need to be installed under Libronix and then brought over into you Logos 4 folder with the scan command.

So shouldn't I get at least something from this update?

Yes, you probably should have.

The first thing I would try in your situation is to check this folder: C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Logos4\Data\<Random>\UpdateManager\Resources to see if anything was downloaded.

The next thing I would do is delete the contents of this folder: C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Logos4\Data\<Random>\LibraryCatalog, perhaps there's something about the list of books Logos is keeping that is preventing updated copies from downloading. After Logos starts run the Update commands again.

If that doesn't work I would probably rename\delete C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Logos4\Data\<random>\UpdateManager\updates.db

These are just guesses on my part on where a problem might be (keep in mind that the AppData folder is hidden). Just make certain Logos is not running when you delete or rename this stuff.

Dave,

I did as you requested, and I am still not receiving the updates. I haven't gone through the entire list, but I know I should at least receive updates for the Amarna letters (2009-12-9) and Targums (2009-10-29).

FYI, there were no folders in the DownloadManager folder. Only the .db file.

I shut down L4, deleted the .db files, restarted L4, typed "Update Now"

David and Larry,

Delete C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Logos4\Data\<random>\UpdateManager\updates.db and

             C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Logos4\Data\<random>\DownloadManager\DownloadManager.db + other files/sub-folders

If you aren't receiving updates it might be the case that your BITS is disabled - its a windows services (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) go to My Computer right-click -> manage - go to Services and Applications and then open Services - Look for BITS and if it is disabled or not running enable it. Also it might be the case that it is running and the download jobs have failed - in that case make sure L4 isn't running and view this post http://community.logos.com/forums/p/8136/66083.aspx#66083 - the code to reset the list is bitsadmin /reset - then launch L4

Are the Post Nicene Fathers coming out in full overtime or is it just these selected volumes?  Will they show up in the Scholars library?

I think mine finally updated, though I didn't do anything (like delete the files suggested) to cause it. I didn't have time to mess with it, and I didn't want to risk problems that I couldn't take time to fix at that point.

My most recent update now is 2/17/10 (236 files ... all from the theological journals (vol 1-5). I also have eleven files on 2/11.

So I am not sure if I am up to date or not.But at least something updated.

I wonder if Logos could do some sort of "resource check" program that would make it easy to compare your resources (date and filesize) with the master list on their server. That way, rather than "taking their word for it" (through the update feature), we could actually see it.

George,

Thanks for the info. BITS was not running, so I started it. I shut down L4, deleted \UpdateManager\updates.db and \DownloadManager\DownloadManager.db, restarted L4, typed Update Resources, but no updates are downloading.

George,

btw, bitsadmin /list shows zero jobs, and bitsadmin /reset says zero jobs canceled.
