Member Prof Gumby Posts: 607 | When I try to download exactly those games, I get a very clear warning: Quote: Since the file you're requesting for download is very big, it is stored off-site. This server only allows one connection per user (so no 'download accelerators') and four downloads at the same time on the whole. Whining about that, the speed or about being cut off in the middle of the download will not help. It can also be offline from time to time. Any complaining and bitching about this will only result in the decision to offer these files at all being rethought. So I guess you should just be patient. ----- "One Very Important Thought" |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11126 | The error message you get is kind of strange, though. If all connection slots are taken, it should say so instead of the general "cannot be displayed". Try again on different times of the day, but if it does not work, my guess is that you do have a problem with your client software or firewall. ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Guest | Ohhh!! It's so devistating. I'm so close to this game but it is not working. I don't understand the problem. Thank you very much though for helping. and about the firewall, I am using zone alarm and even after I shut it down, I still can't download it and the same page pops up... what am I doing wrong? |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11126 | First of all, I've checked and the connections to the server haven't been maxed out all day. There have always been free slots, so that can't be the reason. Without further information about your system, there's little I can do, so I'll just list a few general ideas which could cause something like that: -Some other filtering program running, unknown to you. If you're using Windows XP using the latest patches, the regularly included firewall which is enabled by default could be the culprit. It could also be something else in your LAN, in case you have one. A router? -The program you're using to connect is acting up. Try another one, preferably one with better FTP capabilities than a webbrowser. ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |
