+bella_candy Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I'm having some issues downloading my pocket queries with 1000 caches in them. I am setting things up okay, the preview shows 1000 caches centered around the event with the correct terrain ratings. I get notification that the pocket query ran (date and time stamp in bold) and I get the email saying it has run. What I am NOT getting is the actual link with the gpx/zip file in the Pocket Queries Ready to Download. I've done this twice. Is it me, or is it GC.Com? Anyone else having this problem?

Exactly the same for me right now. Hopefully those run PQ's actually appear soon... Quote Link to comment
+Lt.Ranger.Bob Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 No it is not just you. I can not download my PQ's as well although I have received the email saying the PQ has run. Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 does it show when you return to your PQ page - on the download tab?? Quote Link to comment
+bella_candy Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 does it show when you return to your PQ page - on the download tab?? No it does not show up in the download tab. How frustrating! I hope they are aware of this. That is my worry. Because I know they will fix it once they know about it. They are usually pretty good about fixing things like this. Quote Link to comment

I hope they are aware of this. That is my worry. Because I know they will fix it once they know about it. They are usually pretty good about fixing things like this. Earlier today I ran a PQ of about 250 caches. Of course, I had an attachment. After reading this thread, I checked the download page. The query is not listed. It's kind of distressing that the web site has had major problems, three weekends in a row. Quote Link to comment
+Chrysalides Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) Wait, scrap all that I had written earlier. I tested it. I ran, it told me I have new PQ in my download, but when I downloaded, it was the set I generated a few days ago. I checked the date in the GPX.

+Corp Of Discovery Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 5 PQs yesterday and 4 today- all down the drain... Quote Link to comment
+Trail Buzzards Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 It appears that the PQs for 1000 caches update the date run, but do not replace any previously run PQ.... so the data is a previous run. Looks like temporarily we will be doing the 500 cache PQs... that still works. Quote Link to comment
+rovers3 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Same thing here. Ran a pocket query yesterday for 800 caches and email that they are ready for download but they are not in the "Pocket Queries Ready for Download" list. Though I had done something wrong so ran it again this morning with the same results. The pocket query that I usually receive on Saturday morning shows there though. Looked at the list of "Active Pocket Queries" and the ones not showing are present but have a line through them. Quote Link to comment

Not on my download list and shows up in the list with a line through it. Edit: I was able to download this query from the attachment on my email.

+ClimbGuy Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Having the same issue here. My first time with a planned all day caching day in months and PQ's are down. DOH!!!! Quote Link to comment
+pppingme Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Bad weekend for PQ's to be down, MOGA! One would think that since people use the gc site heavy on the weekends, that they would put one of those 40 people that they hired to keep an eye on it through the weekend. Quote Link to comment
+Trail Buzzards Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Darn. I've used up my five queries and have a big hole in my radius. Quote Link to comment
+gnjeepn Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 This is a bummer. Just had the same issue. Since it was such a nice day thought we would go grab some caches. Guess I'll set the query to 500 so at least I can download it from my e-mail. Hope that works. Quote Link to comment
+Dr.MORO Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Domo!!! Still not fixed... Why the heck do they change things on Friday evening??? Really don't understand.

+TheBloodhounds Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Querys still not working!! I can cannot download 1000 and have them appear as downloadable on geo site. Its a real pain. I have had to do a 500 or less query and download from email. Has anyone contacted geocaching office yet, or solved the problem somehow?? Quote Link to comment

+Walts Hunting Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 You guys posted to early. Once someone came into the office on the West Coast they fixed it. You wouldn't want them to have to get up in the middle of the night would you. Quote Link to comment
+TheFranklin4 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 My 1000 PQ's are still not showing up under the download tab. It may be that since I ran these queries last night, I cannot run them again for three days, especially the MyFinds PQ. Quote Link to comment

You wouldn't want them to have to get up in the middle of the night would you. Hi Walt. Poking the Bear? Well me too. This is utterly ridiculous. Groundspeak is lucky they have a virtual monopoly. They couldn't survive with real competition. NOTHING is fixed. SOMETHING got a little temporary life kicked back into it is all. Want to bet it's broken again/yet next weekend? Anyway, here is my story today. Generated a brand new PQ of 975 caches by zip code and filtering out inactive caches. NOTHING ! ! ! Then generated a brand new PQ of 975 caches by waypoint number without any filters. CAME THROUGH. Thought I might as well try an experiment. Generated a brand new replacement for first unsuccessful PQ of 975 caches, but this time by waypoint number without any filters. CAME THROUGH. Am I on to something? Quote Link to comment
+Chrysalides Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) It appears that the server handling even # PQ is alive and working (my 900+ PQ arrived with the correct date) but the odd # PQ server is not returning anything. Since the PQ # is assigned when you create a PQ, and there's no easy way of finding out what it is until it runs and you get your PQ result, if you need your PQs really bad, create a bunch of identical ones with slightly differing names and see if one of them runs. Edit to add some information : I have a set of 5 PQs covering this area. They are identical except for the "date hidden" range values. From past experience I know that 1, 3 and 5 run on one server, and 2 and 4 run on another. I couldn't get 5 to run, but I received results for 2 quickly. 1, 3 and 5 run on the odd server, the other 2 on the even server, but I think that is just coincidence.

+DragonsWest Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Right about now I'll be thrilled if ONE of my PQ's runs. This is not a happy time. Quote Link to comment
+Chrysalides Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) Hmm, did GS add more servers? My odd # PQ did not arrive. My even # PQ 4524784 arrived very quickly My even # PQ 6297110 ran almost 90 minutes after 4524784. They were submitted about the same time. 4524784 mod 4 = 0 6297110 mod 4 = 2 Or could be just a fluke... I submitted 2 more PQs, one with mod 4 = 1, and the other = 3. Both arrived very quickly. If your PQ still hasn't run, try unselecting it, then selecting it again. If all else fails, make a copy and run that copy instead. Edited March 26, 2011 by Chrysalides Quote Link to comment
