File size mismatch for "BallisticRecolors4StaticPro"

OK, I can't connect to the BW server (you lucky people!) - the fullscreen error says "File size mismatch" at the end of downloading that 11683K file.
Even if I clear the Cache subfolder before trying, it doesn't appear in there afterwards.
And there's no sign of a .u file or anything called "BallisticRecolors4StaticPro" anywhere in my UT2004 folder.
A virtual voucher for a metaphorical beer goes to the first person who can tell me what stupid thing I am stupidly doing wrong.
TIA.

Another redirect fail (my bad). Fixing.

Nope, still getting same error.
I have something set up to transfer the entire Cache contents into my UT folder every week, but then remove the following to avoid update clashes:
Code: Select all
del /f %UTDIR%\System\BCoreProV55.u 2>NUL
del /f %UTDIR%\System\BallisticProV55.u 2>NUL
del /f %UTDIR%\System\BallisticRecolors4StaticPro.u 2>NUL
del /f %UTDIR%\System\BWBPRecolors4ExpPro.u 2>NUL
del /f %UTDIR%\System\BWBPRecolors4MainPro.u 2>NUL
del /f %UTDIR%\System\utcompr03.u 2>NUL
del /f %UTDIR%\System\LDGGameBW.u 2>NUL
del /f %UTDIR%\System\3SPNv3141BW.u 2>NUL
del /f %UTDIR%\System\LDGGameBW_rc.u 2>NUL
del /f %UTDIR%\System\BWBPRecolorsPro.u 2>NUL
Are there any other BW mod files that shouldn't be in my UT folder?

Mismatching on this exact same file?
Edit: For some reason the files are different again. Updated. -_-

Skaldy, would you mind sharing that script with the rest of the class?
Thanks

I just set my cache to empty every 9999 days. Copying files over just causes issues.

Why is that?

It's not just a single DOS batch file, there's some C# too, and it's all specific to my setup and backup strategy (LDG content is currently 3.5Gb !). So it's not worth passing it around, and anyway there are more generic UT cache manager utilities publicly available.
I agree with Robot - edit the ut2004.ini file instead, and set the "[Core.System]PurgeCacheDays=1000" or something and then you can just forget about it.
Also, the LDG redirect is a lot faster since the server move I think.

Cache will automatically use the correct files needed, and can keep multiple versions. System folder can't have duplicates with the same filename so you have to keep swapping them.
