WowReader Issues and HelpFollow

I get the same error, I think it has something to do with the fact that the european version of wow got an update for the spanish client today

10/13/06 - 11:11 PM Eastern

I get this little gem when trying to upload:

Connection Error: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

WTF?

Im also having this problem, id really like to get this to work but i havent a clue how. hopefully someone can help.

Yes, European servers need an update due to the minipatch on Wednesday to the Spanish version. This was deployed over all European servers, Spanish or not, and is what seems to be causing the checksum error failure.

Hi,

It's the first time I try to use Wowreader and I have an error with the download of patch.xml
First message: Error downloading update: Unable to connect to the remote server.
Second message: Version check failed (expected 5875, got 6005)... Wait for a new version to appear... check for updates later. (I think the exact content of the message is useless as it is surely directly linked to the previous message)
Here is the patch log:

I tried several times to be sure it wasn't just a small connection issue.
My firewall allows full access to the internet for the wowreader and I don't have any proxy configured.
Has anybody any idea regarding this problem?

problem is, that there was an unnecessary update installed on ALL European servers , instead of just the Spanish.
WoWreader doesn't work on this patched version of WoW, so we just need to wait for a new patch of WoWreader :)

Just to let you know I have been getting the "unable to read data from the transport connection" error since beginning of October. Have tried reinstalling add on but still the same.
What has happened ?
It has been working reliably for months and then all of a sudden...Ooops. Nothing has changed on my pc or my wow install, ISP service is the same. I can only think that something has gone awry 'your end'?
I don't think I am the only one either.

Hi,
It's nice to see that things are changing a bit.
I still get an error but it's a new one :)
Here is the new message:
Error downloading update: The remote name could not be resolved: 'db.allakhazam.com'

After pressing the OK button of the error dialog box, the progress bar of the window called "updater" is at 100% but nothing happens.

Here is the patch log:

Ok! When I ran WoWReader today it 'appeared' to have downloaded some type of update to wowreader.exe ?? I don't know if you all made that happen or not, but it looked like something I don't recall seeing before on startup. Then it went though the patch updater like it always does.

I was keeping my fingers crossed ... lots of hope ... unfortunately, nothing has changed for me with the end result.

Here are my logs again: I'll keep trying from time to time. I miss using that website option. :-)
