Run GameFetcher ICC
Wait for the file creation.
After that you'll see:

Press a key to continue...

Hit a key, and it begins the endless loop of fetching games.
You can break this with a control+C or close the application manually.
Closing winboard will just make it load up again.

If you want to fix this manually you will have open GameFetcher, then edit
./bat4/chess120.bat
remove call ./bat/chess0.bat

For the ICC mini or Fics, in ./bat2/chess120.bat
remove the same.

You'll have to do it each time you load GameFetcher.

The loop is apart of the program.
Get game 1 , get game 2, etc... game 483... start over, get game1.

If you get a ICS dialog box, it's probably server-side and they changed their
settings to prevent the GameFetcher's "loop" from accessing the server(s).
