Failed to download file "1516081243jtun_sep12len180102008csds.m30" while processing request id "2925"

Cause

The number of download retries is set to low for environment.
 

Resolution

To increase the download retries please follow these steps:

1. Stop LUA tomcat service
2. Open the file C:\Program Files\Symantec\LiveUpdate Administrator\tomcat\webapps\lua\WEB-INF\classes\ lua_static.properties and Change the value of "download.retry.corruptFile" from 1 to 3.
3. Ensure that the line break between the properties "download.retry.corruptFile" and "download.resume.corruptFile.retry" stays intact after making the changes.

          It should look like:

          download.retry.corruptFile=3
          download.resume.corruptFile.retry=10
          download.retry.corruptFile.sleep.msec=10000

       4. Start the LUA tomcat service.
