    Send that link raw packets. Problem will then be solved.

    I have never done that, I can send raw to one node?

    Yes. Just remove the packer statement for the link.

    Yes. Go into your links file or section, find the entry for that node and, under that entry, change:

    packer zip
    packer none

    dailyBundles on

    I have non of those statements in my hpt config, and all nodes are sent raw packets.
    It's just not worth it anymore, with linking via the internet.

    If you are not using compressed packets, you don't need any of them.

    Hmmm, I have not run into that issue. Best as I can tell, if husky/hpt is worrking properly, the area/filefix requests don't show up in netmail (or they are addressed to a user whose messages I don't see). Do they include an error message in the text?
