Division by zero error
I ran out of server space on my host and somehow the links databases have got screwed up. All links are still available and working but new links are not added. They appear in the admin program to be validated but when doing the build I get the error below after all links have been updated. I've tried restoring from a backup links.db but the same error appears when building. Any ideas anyone? Thanks. Error message follows ...

Done.

Updating rating to 8.40 for link id 101

Indeed, I should have searched first - sorry about that. I mistakenly thought that mine was such a particular situation that there wouldn't be any info available on the problem.

Anyway, deleting one of the rates files that had 0 bytes solved the problem. Thanks.
