Post by: EHM-1838 Andrew on May 10, 2007, 04:21:52 pm

Hello

Any thoughts please.

again, i think this is something to do with the server and it running at capacity?? but i am not 100% sure about this but i have also had the problems dowloading from the site. i just simple give it 30mins and retry with no problems.

it not possible for everyone to contribute but i think we all need to support the MT in getting the problems with the site sorted with the purchase of the new servers.;D;D

I have just checked and I also had problems downloading. This seems to be a problem at Bluehosts end as I have checked the server and the files are on there and they are not corrupt. I am sure Maarten or Bruno can update the situation when they get chance.

In the meantime, I can not really offer a solution as I am still at work and I am limited to what i can achieve from here. My apologies for the problem.

Regards,

Hello,

I had the same problem with most downloads and I ended up with the conclusion that it happens because my network connection is too fast! (warning, this may be wrong as I could not check with a slower one ;)).

I don't think the file on the server is corrupted, it rather looks like it's not fully downloaded.

However, eventually I managed to download every plane I tried by using one of the following tricks (for reasons that escape me, none worked in every occasion):

1. Start download while something else (the bigger, the better) is transferred via the same network.

2. Select "Run" rather than  "Save" option in Internet Explorer (it beats me why :o). The tricky part is that if you actually want to save the file, you can find it in the "Temporary Internet Files" folders - but only BEFORE you finish running it, afterwards it's deleted. This was most necessary for me as I'm not using the same PC for FS and downloads.

By the way, these tricks suggest a third one, but I didn't try it (yet): download using another browser.

Hope this helps

Andrei

These issues have been addressed with our website host and they are not taking any responsibility. We know the files are not corrupt therefore (I hope you don't mind Murray) if you have any further problems , please try downloading them from here:

We hope to have the situation fully resolved soon.

Thanks,

Thanks for the link, Philip! Maybe you can add it to the site until this situation is resolved.

Hi Tarik,

Once we're on the new server (this weekend) then you'll have no problems to download the files from the website anymore.
