Craig -DTN Guru- Posts: 326 Joined: Apr 16, 2010	Posted: Mar 20, 2019 04:01 PM Msg. 1 of 9 With the new version of IqFeed, I'm now getting these errors about every one in ten history requests. Update: re-starting the client and turning on logging seems to have stopped the problem...sigh. Edited by Craig on Mar 20, 2019 at 04:02 PM Edited by Craig on Mar 20, 2019 at 04:44 PM

Also, when is anybody going to get around to fixing the news display application. Every time I click a news item all I get is "page cannot be displayed" in the bottom panel.

Dunno, if you are running in Wine, then the following may fix for you: http://blog.raymond.burkholder.net/index.php?/archives/747-DTNIQFeed-Gecko-Problem-in-Wine-from-WineHQ.html But I am running v6.0.0.5, which might act differently.

DTN_Steve_S -DTN Guru- Posts: 2093 Joined: Nov 21, 2005	Posted: Mar 26, 2019 02:31 PM Msg. 8 of 9 Sorry I'm late to this thread. I'm looking into this but I really don't see anything yet that would indicate this is anything other than general internet congestion causing problems. This could explain why restarting (and potentially getting assigned a different server farm) is having an effect. Can you guys enable Request and Error logging levels and make sure you save off the log before restarting the feed (it overwrites on startup) next time you see this behavior? Feel free to post logs here in this thread or email them to dev support. I'd like to start tracking this to see if some sort of pattern becomes evident.

Is there somewhere I can download the previous version for the meantime? Edited by Craig on Mar 27, 2019 at 07:37 PM File Attached: log2.txt (downloaded 1431 times)
