CTW hung up when downloading images? #35

Closed arbingordon closed 10 years ago

arbingordon commented 10 years ago

Hi, I've recently started having an issue where ChanThreadWatch fails to download any thumbnails or images. It manages to rename a thread webpage from whatever.html to whatever.bak and download the new webpage, but gets hung up right after that, before downloading anything else. Is anyone else having this issue?

It works fine for me. Does this happen on a particular site?

arbingordon commented 10 years ago

4chan. I tried running a XP VM to test, and it looks like something on my end is breaking CTW. I'll report back if/when I figure out what is breaking it.

I'm havin the same problem as well(same site too). things were workin fine earlier but then i had to go to work and turn my comp off. and now just an hour or so ago i got home. and i tried it, it says downloading but there's nothing in the folder then it goes to the waiting countdown. i also tried compatibility troubleshooting with both windows 7 and windows 8 and nothing worked.

Nvm supergouge i found out what mine was damn proxy was being used in internet explorer once i disabled that it started downloading images and stuff. sorry for hte false alarm

arbingordon commented 10 years ago

So running windows without any startup programs enabled didn't fix my issue. I tried digging around in internet explorer's proxy settings and there is no configured proxy. Not sure what else to try.

Does your problem generated any error logs? Also, if it's not IE, it may be your firewall settings. If you have anything else that may affect your connectivity, you might want to check that too.

arbingordon commented 10 years ago

No it does not, and I run windows without a firewall. Maybe it's my router?

Edit: I can compile code/debug on my end. What should I be looking for? Can I send you a memory dump that you could debug?

SuperGouge commented 10 years ago

If you can access the website through your web browser, this means the problem is more than likely related to Internet Explorer settings.

arbingordon commented 10 years ago

I just checked in IE and it looks like it cannot load 4chan? It loads fine under Firefox / Chrome though. Edit: It does load, it just takes minutes to load a page, and images time-out.

SuperGouge commented 10 years ago

If you or a program might have made modifications the IE's settings, you should try resetting them. Apart from that, I don't know what can cause this and you should look up on Google if anyone has had problems related to images not loading in IE.

I tried a number of different things (resetting IE, messing with IEs security settings, downgrading IE to v10, reboot in safe mode, etc) and what I ultimately found was that if you tracert to 4chan.org, it's done over ipv4, but if you tracert to i.4cdn.org, it's done over ipv6. Something "broke" my ipv6 apparently. So I check my router's settings, and sure enough, IPv6 is disabled by default on comcast routers. Woo comcast. Reconfigured it to actually give out ipv6 addresses over dhcp, problem solved.
