Halted download?

Post by Solomon »

There is something very bizarre going on whenever I try to download any of the IGS clients from the official page for my PC. For some reason, after the download starts, it always gets stuck between 25%-50% through. After I closed the download, it wouldn't let me re-download it (just doesn't open up a download dialog box). The first time I figured it was a server error of some sorts, so I came back a day later to try it and same problem. Anyone else suffering this problem? If download works okay for everyone else, could someone upload it somewhere else so I don't have to deal with this strange situation? Thanks!

If this problem persists with other downloads, a "download manager" could be helpful. If a download has a problem, they hammer on the file until finally they can grab it. Often they can do parallel downloads (this speeds up the download under certain circumstances), and they can restart the download where it has aborted. Some of them integrate seamlessly into all common browsers. As far as I know there is even a plugin for Firefox (Filezilla?). But I am not using Firefox, so I cannot tell for sure.

Hi,

I can confirm unstable downloads from the pandanet website - it is a known problem and will hopefully be fixed soon...

Cheers,
Benjamin
