Processing item index... Could not parse XML

Yesterday the ddidownloader worked but i didn't have time to let it finish. Today it stops before the downloading even starts with the following error:

Processing item index... Could not parse XML document 'C:\Users\Marco\AppData\Local\Temp\ddicrawler\items_index_0.xml'. item import could not continue.

I've tried it multiple times but keep getting the same error.
Not sure about this but shouldn't xml files contain at least some readable data?

I'm having the same problem. I updated my files for 3.8, but had a large chunk of failed downloads. Retried them several times, but never got them. Today I'm getting the same error code as Digibetus.
 
As am I. Same exact message - will this corrupt any of the db's involved with making characters? or change what comes up on sheets. Cause I have an issue now with feat descriptions not completely showing up on the sheet.
 
With some help of a friend i figured out the files are base64 encoded. Decoded the file looks fine. Is there a Lone Wolf around to help us?
 
Hi everyone,

Sorry for the lack of updates on this. I've been trying to get a download of the new compendium content for a few days, but they changed a bunch of stuff in the items index, so it kept doing most of it but failing. Then I'd tweak things, and it got a little further before failing again, etc.

I think I've got the last tweak in place now, so I can download the compendium content and work on the updates appropriately. The problem was the structure of the item index has been changed, so a bunch of data that was there previously has now been removed, like the enhancement bonus. :( I'm working on an update today that should resolve these issues, so watch out for a new version of the 4e files soon.

Thanks for your patience!
 
Makes sense. The WoTC board shad announcements up a week or two ago that some of the stuff from Mordenkainen's Magnificent Emporium wouldn't be available until the next update because of changes n the structure of certain items, namely Artifacts. Maybe the relevant date in the Compendium must have already had the underlying form altered? I'm guessing, of course but the theory fits the evidence.
 
Any updates on this?

I'm in the process of evaluating Hero Lab, but it really needs the DDI content to be useful for me. And as I just started with the evaluation this week, I have no old content to fall back upon.
 
This should now be fixed with the latest update. Unfortunately the missing file in this case was the entire list of magic items, so being able to finish without it would not have been very useful. :(
 
Works nicely now. Took 18 hours to download it all. Hopefully that won't happen every time WotC does an update, but it's a small price to pay.
