No idea how to title this

But a few weeks ago before the last update, my Simpsons series pop up window (where you can rate and play the file from) started showing all sorts of gobble gook and when it finally reverted back to readable words, all the ratings disappeared.

I didn't do anything special to get it readable again, I think I just restarted it and hit F5 a few times.

Weird, eh?

Very weird bug indeed...

Is it the only series you've lost your ratings?

Yup, never seen before or since again!

Thankfully!

It seems that the file containing the episode list got somehow damaged during the download. Nonetheless it's not normal that you lost your ratings. By looking at my code I think I understand why it happened. I will modify it to avoid the ratings to disappear in case it would happen again.

I've checked all the servers, none of them has a damaged file. The corruption must have occured during the download...
