For some reason using Internet archive with DuckDuckGo to download after this update after the first download over 2gb some downloads even less than 800 meg will just disappear. I have a zip file that I have never seen before listed that was there just after the update and reboot, I haven't opened it. It seems like a memory resident file since it reloads after being deleted sometimes. If this is true it must be somehow connecting to the update file and replicating Is it something I need to install or do I need to do a reset and hard reset just after a no recycle bin delete with a power off.

Not sure if I am following what you are outlining there 12icer :eek:
Loaded the Z8 here with this latest 'HotFix' update and everything went fine.

I am trying to walk through a problem that started after the update. I use duckduckgo browser to go to Internet archive and download zip files movies, books , music, ETC. Since the update I will be downloading a zip file and it will just disappear. If I start two or three some of them one or two will fully download but the others will just disappear. Most times when I unpack the zip file it will show the list of files and the one I wish to save will be there say a 1gig mpg I choose the destination folder and start the transfer from the internal drive to a dedicated 3tb hard drive it starts then just goes away. Only rarely I can get a complete transfer and uncorrupted file. I am just wondering if it is a glitch or something to do with my hardware. I hate to go to a computer to download these things, the Formuler is way faster and gives a better chance of not being corrupted when it is working. I don't have any read problems with any files they run flawlessly from start to end pause and play or whatever. Just the downloads. I haven't tried another browser because Duck works so well.

If noone else is having any problems I will try some stuff and let you know what I figure out, OLD "Testing" days you know

I did a hard reset and cleared the Memory and cache, I didn't do a full restore, I redid the download storage folder on the box and so far it seems to be working I haven't pushed it past half the total storage by doing eight or nine downloads at one time yet again though so I will push it up after I do some things I want to get done and let you know. Right now I think it was just a glitch in one of the downloads that hung the gateway and limited the amount of data that could be processed before it ran out of capacity. More like a memory block that was full and unavailable till it could write to a lost file. The box saw the downloads as orphan data and cleared them because they could not be completed or written to the storage folder.

There has been 2 new updates released. But neither of them is an update for the box itself or the MOL
They are updates for the 'Remote App' and the other is an update direct for the 'BT-100'
These were released September 23
But you will not see them in your normal update menu(s).
Open the Market and scroll down to the Utilities/ETC category and there is where the Formuler Remote app can be found (v1.0.0-r78)
Install that and then you should see it trigger the Bt-100 update.
These 2 updates are for all Formuler receivers across the board and not just the Z8
