error when downloading raw gps data

[msdess]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. problem occured a few times during the last days. The only thing i changed (compared to before) is, that i activated download "Raw GPS data" in addition to "Openstreetmap data"
2. sometimes the error occurs, sometimes not. Not reproduceable in my opinion.
3. the error occurs when nearly finished downloading the gps-points of the selected area

What is the expected result?

What happens instead?

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

The error is simply invalid data. Either this is a bug or there really is invalid data. Can you specify a download region (as small as possible), where that happens? It should always happen in the same region, if it is illegal data on the server.
