I would agree. I think you should be able to download to your heart's content.

As I said, I just don't know. I'm trying to find out for you, but it may take a day or two.

Thanks dude.

I just contacted Neal. Hopefully help is on the way. It may or may not be good news, but it will be news.

I was just having fun riffing on the notion of indulgence. Pay me no heed, sir! No heed at all. Heedless be of me. Without heed of any kind. 'Twas a giggle, 'twas all. I'm in a particularly absurd mood tonight for some reason. Strange, I'm not even drunk. Probably a bad sign. A good mood usually presages a clinical depression. They should be eschewed most strenuously.

Hmmm. Note to self: Vocabulary shows some signs of recovery. Was it the sausage I had for breakfast?

I talked to Neal, and he doesn't know either. He thinks possibly it's because of the large number of downloads and maybe there's a limiter or something in the board's system.

So, we're right back where we started: I still don't know.

Sorry.

Ehm, how long have you been awake? How long have you been submerged? What is the CO2 level aboard your submarine? (this last one is probably the most likely cause for your strange mood)

Steve, thanks for your efforts on my behalf. The only thing to do then is keep clicking until the download takes.

Pisces, my former good feeling has lapsed into my characteristic state of ennui. Crisis passed without incident.

I think I know what the problem is and it is not a problem with SH3, rather a problem I have been having for some time downloading from many sites--any site which has any restrictions (time limits imposed) on downloads. Rapidshare, Megaupload, etc. After having downloaded a file--might have been hours ago, my i.p. is still being detected as downloading a file. Rapidshare: "Your i.p. is already downloading a file..." When I am not, download is over.
Got to be an easy way around this. Am trying cmd prompt--ipconfig/release.
Then--ipconfig/renew.
Explains a lot of things--why others aren't having this prob for example. It's not a SH3 prob, it's a nodlew prob.

SOIGKV.

No joy as of yet. Renewing my config doesn't do anything. Tried restarting my modem--but I have to re-login to Subsim,and download still doesn't work. Take note, I have not downloaded anything from Subsim. Not one byte--and getting the "Slow down" message. Haven't downloaded anything from Subsim in over 24 hrs.
