Mixed Results

[Mike Casswell]

Following a period of successful radio downloads using the PVR front 
end, I now find that about half are succeeding and half failing in a 
session.

In the case of the failures, an empty file is created with a partial 
filename. The previous episode of the failed programme was successfully 
downloaded.

Looking at the logs, I am struggling to find any information which 
might help to diagnose the problem.

Here are two programmes from the same session:

I would appreciate any suggestions as to how to diagnose and correct 
this behaviour.

Thanks
