Heyo!
I've got the somewhat weird problem, that AoM starts downloading the needed files from AniDB but then stops with the status: "Downloading file: 13,77MB out of 13,77MB done."
The Log says "Connection to AniDB successfully terminated. All queued tasks completed." whereas the statusbar says "(6 files queued)".
AoM keeps hanging within this status now for more than 20 minutes (after some restarts I did before).
Where's the problem? =/
AoM stops after downloading
I'm still having this problem after quite some days of retrying. The thing is, my AOM on my desktop is updating like a charm, but the AoM on my laptop (same version, same network, same firewall settings etc., but new installation) does not update properly. It downloads and parses the first big chunk alright, but then gives up on downloading the queued files even if I leave it on for hours on end.
Those files still can't still be broken? What could be wrong on my end?

I did the first time I ran into the problem. Later I installed from scratch. I even tried copying the entire thing, kowai included directly from my desktop computer (working AOM) to the laptop. No luck. I'm guessing it's something on my end, but I can't figure out why. It used to work on both computers, and then, two weeks or so ago, my laptop AOM suddenly stopped updating correctly.
Now that I've copied all files from the laptop however, I got rid of the queue of files AOM[laptop] refused to download. Now it malfunctions at the first and only (small) dump.

Well PetriW, it seems like the problem sorted itself out. I don't know what I did, or what happened to make it work, but AOM now updates like a charm again, and all symptoms of the problem have vanished. The only thing I did change on my computer was the list of blocked servers I use in adblock in FireFox, but I can't see what that could possibly have to do with it, as you mentioned AOM uses IE.
One more thing that maybe can help you in diagnosing (if you feel like it) what the problem was, is that AOM couldn't load the online pictures in the anime-details page. If I clicked on the hyperlinks (like the anime-title) my browser would normally open the page for the relevant anime, but in AOM no picture was loaded.
Well, I'm glad everything works out again, so if you don't feel like it, don't give it another thought.
Thanks for your thoughts.
