Card Image Downloads Not Working

by **throwingmuse** » 30 Apr 2012, 01:31

I am unable to download card images using the Arena->Download Images menu item. Can someone else verify whether image downloads are working? If so, what configuration are you using?

When I attempt to download images (DIRECT), I get 0 byte JPEGS for missing images.

I just tried 1.25 on Linux and it could download images correctly. Do you have a firewall in place? You may need to allow Magarena to access the Internet to get the images.

Yes, I've confirmed that Magarena has access through the firewall. The program connects to the server which correctly identifies which images are missing. A download begins, but the issue is that the downloads are of 0 byte size. I get no image data.

Is there another process other than Magarena.exe which performs the image download; does Magarena utilize another application to download the images?

Machine: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Java: 1.7.0_03 and 1.6.0_31

Well, the culprit was Java 7. Even though I disabled Java 7 from the Control Panel applet, Magarena still loaded using the Java 7 RTE. I uninstalled Java 7 and restarted Magarena. Downloads occur with no issues under Java 6.

Strange that Magarena doesn't work with Java 7. We'll look into it and find out what is causing the problem.
