Hi, thanks for this report. Unfortunately, this seems to be a misconfiguration with the web site. Their text files are sent with the application/octet-stream binary flagged header which RetroTxt rightly ignores. It only monitors downloads if they're sent with the text/plain headers.

Thank you for the explanation.
So I reported it to the srrdb issue tracker ( issue)
I'm closing it. If/when it's fixed, I'll report here.
