FINALLY finished d/l-ing 7/3 and went to convert w/mkw, the last 4-5 tracks gave me a message of "no magic number?" what does this mean? not the first time this has happened.

there's an error in those tracks. you need to re-download the one's missing the magic number.

thanks boys. i'm pretty sure there is no way to d/l just the tracks i need, so i'm starting from scratch. probably just due to heavy volume right now.

actually you can download show tracks individually without using the downloader. just go to the download section, login, find the show and all the tracks are listed individually.

if you go the http server (rather than using the downloader) you can download one song at a time

i have never used the http server before. is it similar to the ants-server? (forgive me-i'm an idiot)
