Terrible Downloading Experience

[Copy link]
Post time 2017-3-9 02:02 | Show all posts
Well ive been trying now for about an hour and a half and its the same as last night. Only small pdf files will complete downloading at a very slow pace. Rar files and files larger dan 1MB are basically not downloadable. They download a few hundred kb and then cancel themselves. Very frustrating, hope this passes soon.

Untill now I downloaded all the patterns I wanted (some with a few problems) Which pattern did you wanted to download?  Post time 2017-3-10 22:30

I think it was just a glitch that charged for the first time I re-downloaded on Tuesday (and after which I checked to see if I was being charged and didnt bother after that). Since then I did a bit of math when I was less tired and frustrated and considering I had to make at so may attempts, I would have a lot less than I do. So I stand corrected.

But my main problem wasnt the cost but the fact that I had to make so many attempts, and that each attempt (of a rar or zip file) took between 10-15 min. So just imagine how long I spent on just trying to download those 2 files, each 3 times, the second one unsuccessfully, besides two more that only had to make one attempt at. Fortunately yesterday was better with no multiple attempts, and while still slow, it was more like 5 min. But still no where near my norm.

I had same problems. It is unusual but if it does happen again just wait till next day and go into the blue download arrow at top of page and ask to see all downloads. The ones that failed will be shown . If you click on retry it will usually download properly this time. It is less stressful for you . If that fails then wait a couple of days and try again. Repeatedly retrying wont really help if there is a glitch on the website. These repeated attempts shouldnt cost you any coins as the first payment allows further downloads for a very long time. Ive accidentally deleted downloaded files in the past and have been able to go back & download again several months later for free.

Has anyone received a message "For make a Gold Coin you must have at least 0 (the forum Download attachment Gold Coin-30". The price for a chart showed 50 coins, i had 58. The points got deducted, but i cant download the pattern.

The forum cost for a download is always 30 GC (except for repaints that are 199 GC). The uploaders price is on top of that. So that would be 50 + 30 = 80 GC.  Post time 2017-4-8 02:37
