| Hello!
I have been using your excellent program for two years,
without any problems.
Last week I upgraded from version 3.05 to 3.22-3.
Now I get lots of complaints from Scandisk: some downloaded
files "last-modified date or time is invalid or is in the
future..." When I look at the file's properties (in
Explorer, Win98SE), the date and time reported are OK;
strangely, the time is always shown as HH:MM:00. If
Scandisk corrects the time stamp, it changes to HH:MM-1:58.
In a related newsgroup article I found the following:
"Recently, I looked at a couple of directory entries, using
a disk editor (WinHex, FWIW); the actual time was HH:MM-
1:60; that is, the seconds field held a value of 30 "double-
seconds". It seems that (W98SE) Explorer treats the
invalid 60 seconds by reporting seconds as 0, and
incrementing the minutes field (an OK choice); but that
ScanDisk, when told to check for invalid dates and times,
is pretty picky.
This happens on both my FAT16 HD and my FAT32 HD, both
under W98SE. The problem is recurrent, and happens when I
copy certain files from a NTFS server ... it also happens
when I use IEv5.5's WindowsUpdate tool and other means of
downloading files.
... It appears that this is a result of minor differences
between the treatment of file times, between NT/W2K and
W9x."
It would be nice, if WinHTTrack could take account of this
inconsistency.
Many Thanks,
Michael | |
