Download Data, Status Bar, Auto Connect Problems

[ChuckAllen]

I tried to download ES 2010-06 data from 3/1 thru 6/12.
An initial screen said something like "1 or more may not be downloaded...".
It looked like a generic screen. It did not say anything about the connection not being established.
After saying OK to that screen...Another screen popped up that said...
"Download in progress...Please see the Control Center Status Bar for progress update."
I have NT16 set up to automatically connect to ZenFire.
I just restarted NT16 a couple minutes before all this happened.

* I Did Not receive a message that it could connect to ZenFire
* Apparently, no connection took place.
* There was NO update in the Status Bar. It was completely blank.
* The "Download in progress..." screen did not say anything.
There was no indication that there was a problem.

After waiting quite a bit for some type of update...I gave up.
The Only way I knew that something was wrong was to look at my Norton Utilities CPU utilization graph. I saw that nothing had happened for several minutes!

PLEASE update the Status Bar with Status on these types of problems.
PLEASE tell us when an Automatic Connection does not work.

Hello ChuckAllen,

When you are successfully connected, the lower left corner of the Control Center will state 'Connected - *connection name*' in green.

Were you successfully connected when you attempted to download historical data?

How did you try to download the data? Did you create a chart or did you load it via the Historical Data Manager?
