Download Problem?

Oubaas · 10-30-11, 05:39 PM

I've been trying to download the career playable battleships for three days and inevitably get some variation of:

vBulletin Notice

Slow Down! You are trying to download files too quickly. You must wait 23 seconds before you may download another file.

The thing is, it comes up when I haven't downloaded anything, every time. Sometimes the number of seconds changes, but otherwise it's always the same.

I e-mailed the site a few days ago, still no response. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

It partly depends on how many posts you have. This is to prevent people from downloading everything in site and not trying to be part of the community.

Yeah, that part I knew. After one post you can download two items after three you can download ten and so on.

But I can't download anything. Unless they changed the posts/downloads numbers and I didn't see the notice, I don't think that's it.

Just looked up the e-mail I received after registering and this is what it says:

"As a new Cadet, you are able to post freely and download up to 3 files a day. Once you have made a single post, you are able to download 10 files a day."

Still, I get the vBulletin Notice.

I wish the admins would check their e-mail and help me out on this one. I'd like to try those battleships.

send an email to Neal Stevens. He is the Captain of all the Captains. Years ago I was getting duplicate messages advising that a captain had posted in a thread to which I had subscribed. I messaged Neal, and it got fixed. He may be able to fix your problem.

I'll give that a try. Thanks IGD!

I've gotten that message too on rare occasion. You may have already tried this so, ignore my advice if you have.
Wait for the page to finish loading completely before you click the DL button. Once the page finishes loading completely, wait several more seconds and then click the DL button.
Like I said, if you've already done this, forget what I just said.

Just tried that procedure WVT, no joy. But thanks for trying!

I e-mailed Neal earlier today s hopefully I'll be hearing something.

I also suffer from this problem is really frustrating that you can not download

Eight years ago, the download server was different. Read on the FAQs page, and it seems to me that the number of files you can download in one day is restricted (5??), and your bandwidth may be restricted as well, unless you join SubSim dot com. Other than that, the connection will time-out, and drop you, so try again...
