I think the download process itself is the issue. A couple years ago, Rene or
Jerry changed the format of the LUGNET set list downloads to include a "year"
column. That caused Peeron's update process to malfunction, using the years as
quantities (so it would claim I had 1984 copies of 6080, for instance). I
believe Dan made a fix at the time, but I think somewhere along the lines, that
fix came undone, because sometime since then the downloads stopped working
again.
The way to force a refresh of the Peeron data is to manually tweak the LUGNET
file, which can be a pain. Essentially, download your set list here:
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/mlistraw.cgi?m=1955
But then, strip out the "year" column (this must be done very exactly!), and
paste the contents into your Peeron collection:
http://www.peeron.com/cgi-bin/invcgis/mypartsimport
Note, this will overwrite your existing Peeron list, so be careful before you do
it!

| (...) Actually, what happened is that originally, when the year column was added, it was between the Name and Number columns. Now it's after both. I just updated Peeron to use the new format, and I think it should be fixed. Give it a few hours to (...) (16 years ago, 12-Jan-09, to lugnet.admin.database)
