I have a problem with downloading sgf files of ongoing games from DGS.

I use the link "Downlad sgf" on the bottom of the page displaying the board position.
Even though the game has appr. 70 moves now, the downloaded sgf file includes only the first 8 moves. Before it was working well, but not any more

Does anyone know about the reason/solution of that?

Your browser is caching it. Clear your browser cache and you should be good.

Very odd. I just downloaded one of my own games; seems fine. I will note that the Dragon has been very temperamental the last two or three days -- very slow to load pages, even timing out. Maybe related? I suggest just try again later. If it still fails, maybe post a note in the DGS Support Forum? (If you can get to it!)

Thanks fwiffo. But that's not the reason. At least not the browser-cache.

I not only tried to delete the cache, but even tried to use another browser.
I normally use MS explorer but even when I try with firefox, I still get the same incomplete sgf.

Either it is cached somewhere else independently of the browser (which I find very questionable) or it's a different problem.

I will also try from my home computer. If still the problem I will post.

I just downloaded both of your games into notepad to look at the raw sgf and it looked like about 70 moves and a proper ending of the sgf. Could it be a problem with the viewer you are opening the sgf in?

I also checked with notepad, the sgf is incomplete, no problem with the viewer.

At home it works. Meaning that it is very likely a central caching problem at my office PC, but definitely not browser cache. Twilight zone!!!

I've had the same problem many times before. It is usually solved by switch between download with comments and download without comments.
