How can I tell why my feed updates or downloads are failing?

In the DoggCatcher menu, press on 'Application Log'. This will list all of the successes and failures for feed updates and downloads.

Pressing on a row in the list will display the details of the failure.

You can also find the error associated with a specific feed or media file by pressing on the 'details' link on the feed/item exhibiting the problem.

Some users have reported that task killers are killing DC and causing updates/downloads to fail.

Common error messages

Illegal character in hostname at index...: The feed or media files are stored on a server with a hostname that is not allowed by the Android networking software.
