hoster crash when importing tracks - caused by bad zip files

[Roy Dennis]

Back in your first post you state you have 120 gig of a 200 gig drive free.

So I can only assume these zips are on a different external hard drive as I can't see how you would get that many on the drive and only use 120 gig.

So how much free space is left on the external drive ?

could you attach one of the failing zips to your post so we can see if there is a problem with the zip.

A light went off over my head after your last reply about disk space. I am using an external hard drive (2TB) and have only 17% free. I'll try to free up what I can to get to 25% free.

You might want to also do a defrag & error check on that drive, Open drive Properties/Tools.

I did an error check last week when I started having this problem and I do a defrag at least once a month because I move, add and delete info off my laptop. But I re did all this again anyway after my last post. I rechecked MTU's suggested setting to be correct.

After my last post to you I also went and deleted unnecessary files on the external hard drive and deleted files that were repeated in Hoster using "Tools" "Edit Songs". They were the same songs just in a different fold on the hard drive. I was trying to think of all that I could do to clean and free up space. My external hard drive has 17% free space now and the laptop hard drive has 60% free space after defrag. All my imports are on the external drive.

I figured I got more space and tried again to import again off the external hard drive a 180 songs in zip format because I deleted more that that earlier.

I tried adding new songs and hoster crashes at about the half way point of 180 songs on the import. A notice appears and says hoster has stopped working.

Only suggestion I can think of is as you seem to have a fair bit of space on your C:/drive, load the remaining zips to a folder on that then see if they import OK or if you get the same error message.

I'm wondering if there is a limit your have reached in the amount of files that can be accessed on a single hard drive or a limit to the amount of files Hoster can handle. If they import from the C:/ drive then the former may be the case.
If that is the case it may be a limit with the 32bit system, maybe 64bit could address more files.
I don't really know perhaps someone else would be able to answer this.
If the problem persists I should put in a support ticket.

I had pondered the idea of the 32 bit as for the 64 bit. The other laptop is 64 bit Windows 7 and this one 32 bit (64 bit capable). I'll try the import to the C drive see what happens. The other laptop, today, I imported the same songs and had no problem.

Thanks

I found the problems.
1 - some zipped had extra files included and
2 - there was something wrong with another zipped file
I tried importing a completely different folder and there was something wrong with that one too.
I tried even another and everything worked OK.
So I went back to the others and resolved the problems except for 1 I had to just completely delete the files.
My bad but found out something valuable.
Thanks
