Screenscraper randomly refuses connection in v8.5 premium

Hi there,

I'm trying to download media and metadata from screenscraper but it randomly stops working when reaching specific games in my DB. I'm using a user/password for screenscraper in mGalaxy and I can log in through the website, but I don't know how to solve those random "connection refused"  inside mGalaxy. Emumovies works like a charm, though.

I've seen in this forum that this was a known problem in mGalaxy 8.0 but it's still happening to me in mGalaxy 8.5

Here's the log message I get:

[Info] Screenscraper refused connection: 404

[Error]
-----------------------------------------------------------
Message: Error while connecting to DB
StackTrace:    at (MainWindow , Object , DoWorkEventArgs )
Source: mGalaxy_Runway
TargetSite: Void (mGalaxy_Runway.MainWindow, System.Object, System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs)
-----------------------------------------------------------

Any clues on what may be happening?

Thanks!
