agh help...........corrupt queue file

[apollo_69_uk]

hi all, i wonder if anyone knows the answer to this one............i had a power cut, and when i rebooted, windows says myqueue file is corrupted and unreadable, and the download queue in dc++ has disappeared..........does anyone know if i can either repair the queue file somehow, or import the half finished downloads into another queue file? please help.........this is a disaster i have about 20 gig of unfinished downloads, i refuse to believe they are just gone.........thanks.

thanks mate, i had a look, not quite the same problem but there was no end solution to that guy's problem........i guess it would be a good idea to keep a regular backup of queue file, would be nice if dc++ could do that for you though.......just my luck as well, feckin powercuts........

Have you opend your queue.xml with notepad and checked that all strings are closed?
And that there are no "garbage data" in it?

nah mate i can't even open it in notepad, because the file was corrupt and unreadable.........when i rebooted xp truncated the file anyways.......i was just wondering if there was anyway of compiling your own queue file and importing half finished downloads but i doubt there is, cheers anyways.
