   Hi Phil and Andrew,
   as you might recall I got all of my data deleted by beta 1.19 and everything is stuck on google docs right now.

   I'm experiencing big problems downloading it back.

   I can subscribe all the simptoms in theese posts:

   I've been trying to download the remaining 30Gb for over a week now but with poor results.
   I've tryied any combinations I could think of: restarting syncdocs every half an hour, leaving it alone for couple days, changing the priority to "below normal" to let me use the computer while trying and so on.
   Syncdocs eats _always_ 100% of my cpu and still most of the time remains stuck at: Initialazing, Synching with google docs, Querying 75000 files (exactly 75000), or Synching 99%. By stuck I mean hours at any each of them, randomly.
   Only few, very few times I can find it downloading something, and most of _those_ times the download gives an error and it skips to the next file.
   The error logs are huge and contains almost only 403 errors.

   Web download doesn't seem viable (works only for one file at a time).

   I know I'm not very constructive, but PLEASE help me :)

   My hardware is not cutting edge, but it's not even rusty: it's an Athlon 2500+ with 3.5Gb of Ram, Win Xp Pro and a 10Mbit/10Mbit optical fiber connection.
   Syncdocs (1.15) settings are by now: "Sync New Files Shared by others" and "download files to this pc". Also tried the "low bandwith" setting but with no result.

   What puzzles me is that Syncdocs *uploaded* more than 60Gb with no problems at all! It took a short startup fee, but then it saturated the bandwith without interfering with the rest of my software (I could do anything I wanted).

   So it looks like:
   -something has changed on Google part
   -Syncdocs reacts very badly with this

   Did I mention I'm getting a bit desperate? :D

   Thanks for the report. I have no immediate solution: there seem to be many more 403 access denied errors from Google in the last two weeks.

   What takes the time is that Syncdocs is continually restarting if it sees too many 403 errors. What you can try is to edit the Syncdocs config file
   and change "MaxForbidden403Errors" from 25 to 2000.
   The config file is normally c:\Users\users\AppData\Roaming\Syncdocs\user@gmail.com\appsettings.xml

   We're looking into this right now, too. 403 errors used to occur when you had no permission to access the file, but that is not the only case now.

   It seems like a Google problem at the moment, but we're looking for a work-around.

   >>3. When we try again much later (usually more than 18 hours) we are able to get through another 4-5K documents before the 403 responses return.

   this looks like a viable workaround!
   thanks

   Yes, it is a workaround, not elegant though.

   Regarding the high CPU load, we expect a release at the end of October that will reduce this load.

   not elegant and not working either :(

   I waited 24 hs before launching again SD but nothing got downloaded.
   I only have hundreds (if not thousands) of 403.

   Stopping this sync and re-authenticating in a minute...

   Also took more than one hour before even starting to try :\ (kept Initializing). Every now and then it stops trying to download and restarts the process.
   I'll now try on manual sync, maybe will turn off some rescan/restart scheduled loop.

   please please please pretty please find a bright idea! :D
