Hi,

I tried to get the last master snapshot yesterday and today, but the download still failed from Rome Italy.

Thanks.

Chris.

Hi everyone,

Since this problem seemed to happen to some users and not others (and some
intermittently), our best guess is that the file gets distributed across
several servers to make it a faster download for people in different parts
of the world, and one of these copies may have got corrupt during copying.

In any case, Mick has pushed an update this morning which is live now and
certainly at least for me, seems to download ok:

Version 14868,48743675 Mon Feb 19 23:22:15 2018

I expect the same problem will remain for anyone trying to download the
previous master build, but if you have problems with this new one, please
let us know.

Regards

Quentin.

It looks to me like sometimes the file name is being messed up somewhere
along the line as the actual address I see it looking at is.

Its not doing it every time though, and indeed not even often, but
sometimes.
Can anyone comment?

I wonder failing all of that if there is a keep alive setting in WGet
where it will just keep trying and resuming until the download is gotten,
or you can try it from a remote box via ssh somewhere and then download
it from there later.

Hi Brian


I just tried getting the snapshot with sea monkey and doing it manually
and i get the following message below.


C:\Users\hurri\AppData\Local\Temp\1yjDH9cM.exe.part could not be saved,
because the source file could not be read.

Try again later, or contact the server administrator.

Even if it does start downloading it dies shortly after.


It seems to do it in all the browsers not download but other sites will
let me download stuff.


It is weird how some can get it and not others.


so am guessing now do i contact nvaccess since it is there server?

So downloading files like podcasts etc elsewhere is no issue, or maybe
programs?
If not then its a routing issue to the servers from your location by the
sounds of it, but its very odd. Anyone else you know in your area who can
also try it? Might be good to see if its your end or in fact a widespread
issue.
I guess you could try some pings to the server address and see if the
round trip time or packet loss is unacceptable.

Hi Gene


No problems with the internet or going to the snapshots page etc it is
say when you go to either update the master snapshot through the help
section it goes up to the server and then you press the enter key on the
save one to download it it is just not downloading from there server that
way and even if you go to the main page where the snapshots are and click
on the file to download it you still get the same result. Some of the file
might come down maybe 400 k or so some times more but never the whole
program.


The anti virus is not stopping it either. I have also tried different
browsers still the same result.


It seems to be wanting me to retry the download all the time so is not
downloading from the snapshots page but no problems any where else for
downloading.

I doubt it. There may some problem in your area or in your part of the
country that is interfering with Internet communications between there and
the server. there is no reason that different servers would be used.

Hi


Nar no matter which browser you use and which way it is just not coming
down. I even tried it on the next snapshot and the same results.


I also did it with either the save link thingy in mozilla fire fox and
what ever the others are called as well.


it is weird how you and some others can get it but not me. I used to be
able to get it every week apart from this weekend.


I am guessing maybe other servers are used for you guys?

Hi brian

There is a problem in a couple of browsers that i have tried to get it
with. The download starts then dies some times at 400 k or so some times a
bit more. I have adsl and have even left it but still no go.

there is no anti virus blocking it either. I am guessing other should be
getting the same problem.. It is the version with 64 f on it it is the
latest one.


I wonder what is happening?

Did you perhaps get the old, this file is not one which is regualrly
downloaded error and then it aborts?
There is section in firefox to turn this warning off.

Hi guys


is the servers playing up? For the last couple of days i have been trying
to download a master snapshot and each time it comes down it is only about
540k. Is the server playing up? for when i go to click on it up comes a
security smart screen I think it is the windows one.


I am also wondering if things have changed like it is a stub then it gets
the main file? I am guessing not.


I usually like once a week to see what might of gone into it each week.


Has any one else had the same problems?


This was doing it from inside of the master snapshot under the help
section.


I have also tried it from the main page and still got the same results.


This was again on feb 18th and also tried on the 17th
