Hi Mike, Sorry you had such an ordeal getting your Voice Dream voices downloaded. I experienced the same problem when you posted your original message to macvisionaries but mine seemed to clear up the next day.
I did copy Winston Chen, the Voice Dream developer, on my post to the viphone list describing the problem. He replied on 2/11/15 and I'm pasting below my signature his reply which includes my post in the email history. I hope Voice Dream behaves going forward and you enjoy it as much as I do. Alan Hi, Thanks for reaching out. The voices files are hosted on Amazon. I have heard of these issues, and a few times I ran into them myself. It's very strange to me. But in all cases, the problems are results a few days later or on a different network. If this is not the case, I would like to find out. In the next update, we're moving to a different type of hosting service on Amazon. I hope it'll improve things. Best, Winston.

Please try again when you have a good network connection. He has tried downloading multiple times on different networks all with strong wifi signals but the error keeps recurring. Since I recently got a new 128GB iPhone 6 and restored a backup of my iPhone 5, I thought I better go fetch some of my purchased Voice Dream voices too and lo and behold got the same error message. Would one of you many Voice Dream Reader users mind trying to download a purchased voice to help determine if this is a Voice Dream network problem? I'm not a big believer in coincidences and it seems odd that both of us experiencing this problem have new high capacity iPhone 6's that were restored from other iPhones. I agree that you wouldn't think that was related to our problem but who knows. I was able to successfully add a new book from Bookshare using Voice Dream after getting the above voice download error message for whatever that's worth. Thanks in advance.

Still, it took me over a week of constant attempts for it to finally work, and I was always at places where the Internet connectivity was excellent. I love Voice Dream Reader, so I was willing to put up with the hassle, but installing something I had already purchased should have been easier. If anyone else ever has this problem, all I can do is suggest that they keep trying until it finally works.

The only things that didn't carry over to the new iPhone were the additional voices I purchased. These voices were high-quality voices for both English and German. I was able to restore the German voice, but thus far, I have not been able to restore James, the high quality English which I purchased. Whenever I try, I am told that the voice can't be transferred because of poor connectivity. While I can believe this, were I only at one physical site for downloading, I have tried at five or six different places, with 3 out of 3 bars reception and fast connectivity. >> >> Does anyone have any ideas for me?
