i have the same problem :( :confused:

This is usually a firewall issue, check if its blocked.

I haven't a firewall and have the same issue.

firewall is down :(

Do you use XP or Vista ?

Xp Sp3....

Should work, i don't have a clue then :(

See if EQ2 Henchman will work. /shrug

Same issue here...
Rather annoying...

The strange part here in my case is that it retries and then it works.
I still get the error message, though.

(XP SP3, btw)

I'm running vista but the issue isn't apparently on my end.

Mine does the same as Kennin's btw. Fails, retries, then works.

If you say it works, does it ever download files then?

Yes it does update, or at least here with me. Of course I cannot talk for Martrae. As I said, it retries and works then, exept for the error, which disables my autostart of EQ.

As it restarts and works, I highly doubt that "firewall" issues have got anything to do with this. If that were the case, it would never ever work, I think.

If you open options and disables Update on open, restart the program, wait a 5-10 sec before you press Update.
Does the updater still hangs on the first file ?

I used to have that issue... I was running a win2k domain setup. It turned out to be a DNS lookup problem. Win2k domains like to look at the internal domain server first then parse out to external dns. The first attempt, which it would fail, would be the internal lookup. The subsequent lookup, which would pass, would come from the external dns server. Since I set up new pc's running xp-64, I haven't had that issue since I no longer run a domain (well I do, but the gaming pc's dont log into the domain).

Well I can fully understand jnils' frustration with this. It appears to be some strange .NET issue. The problem is that jnils cannot reproduce it at all and I can only reproduce something a bit similar (but I get no error messages). I tried to figure it out today based on the issue I was seeing but the problem is somewhat elusive. While I managed to fix the issue on my system (without really understanding why the fix works...) I'm not sure at all whether it will work for anybody else. jnils will upload a test version later.

I was still getting at least some updates. Yesterday it abruptly quit failing (although I haven't messed with any settings) and worked as it normally did.

Today when I started EQ2maps I received 241 updated zones/files and 2 new zones. So I'm just gonna assume there was something funky going on that's corrected itself.

Im glad it works now for you :)

Ill see if i can come up with a solution for this.

I don't mean to push, but I wondered if there is any news? :(

Sorry for not replying, i have been busy , but think i can fix this soon :)
