Open your host file and add this to the host file:

Code:

<host id="picve">
<urlpattern>http:\/\/picve\.com\/download\.php\?file=.+</urlpattern>
<searchpattern><![CDATA[function(pageData, pageUrl) {
var retVal = new Object();

retVal.imgUrl = pageUrl;
retVal.status = "OK";

return retVal;
}]]></searchpattern>
</host>

The changes will be posted online in a short while.  So you can just wait and get the new host file.

Although I did have some difficulty reading your message, I think I understand what is happening.  The problem is that imagebam will stop sending images on slower connections.  I experienced this problem when I was in Iraq.  So my solution was to create a retry feature that will re-start the download from the last bit of downloaded file.  Otherwise the program will re-start from the very beginning, and often times will never download the entire file.  I was pretty sure that I worked all of the bugs out when I was in Iraq, but it's possible there is still something lingering there.

I think for imagebam, the best solution for now is to lower the number of simultaneous downloads to 1 or 2.  Go to the "ImageHost Grabber" menu, click "Options", click "Host Options", and in put "2" in the first box labeled "Max. Simultaneous HTTP Request"

I'll have to look at this in further detail later when I get some time.

let me know if this helps you any.

first i think the same what u think......"imagebam will stop sending images on slower connections"
So I start to watch the progres of download.......but before that i already set the "Max. Simultaneous HTTP Request" to 1.....
and this problem still happen.......some of file failed to finish well....if in the middle of download try to connect again......and the result is always over the real size.....
but i think the problem not in the program......maybe just imagebam host script need to update....
couse i try to download manualy from the page site, it happen too, the download doesn't finish and the image doesn't show full,
same problem with download manager.......
so maybe I think some of the imagebam server in the process of update or maintenance......
couse not all the file failed to download.....,just some file from some server....
ex: http://19.imagebam.com--->success, http://12.imagebam.com---->failed, http://9.imagebam.com--->failed,http://14.imagebam.com--->success, etc

again..thanks for ur time and help....
sorry for my bad english....

Sorry it took so long to get back to you.  I did not see your post till just now.

There is indeed a bug with imagebam.  Let me explain what is happening.

The feature of my program that is supposed to help with imagebam relies on imagebam sending the correct file size.  When imagebam stops sending you the image, my program automatically retries the download from the last position of the download.  This way you don't have to re-download the portion of the download that was already downloaded.  This is a very important feature because when I was in Iraq, several times my program would re-start the download from the beginning and never finish downloading the file.

However, sometimes imagebam never sends the correct file size.  When that happens, the file becomes corrupted on your end.

I have put this issue on the todo list and will try to come up with a work-around.  I will make this a priority for the 1.6.4 version coming out soon.

Thanks.

I took a closer look at this problem with imagebam, and here is what I have found.  Imagebam does not support download resuming, and Imagebam will stop sending the image on slower connections.  The built in features of my program had a couple of bugs that caused files to become corrupted after IHG tried to re-start the downloads.  I fixed these bugs.  However, you may experience that some images will never download because Imagebam will keep stopping the download before it ever finishes, then it has to be restarted from the beginning, only to stop again before finished.  Very troublesome.  I posted a message on the Imagebam support forum.  Hopefully they will take a look at my post and take it into consideration.

Anyway, I'm posting an update here for you to try out.
