Retrying failed downloads...

2 Records were not retrieved from the D&D Compendium,
due to server problems. This issue usually resolves itself
within a few hours - we recommend you wait at least 30 minutes,
then press 'r' to retry the download.

(Do not close this program if you wish to retry - if you do,
all downloading progress will be lost!)

Press `r` to retry the download, or `s` to skip.


I press `r` after waiting several hours and the error continues to repeat itself. Eventually I press `s` to skip and the program will finish downloading some data starting with Deities. After doing that Hero Lab experiences several issues as noted in the New version released - v3.10 thread (see post #12).
This happens when there are bugs in the D&D compendium - in this case, it looks like there are two pages that just won't load. The downloader doesn't know whether it's a temporary or permanent thing, so it lets you decide whether you want to retry or not.
