I've tried for the last two hours, and get a server connection reset
in FireFox, as well as Safari. :-(
Works for me today.
The server is from GoDaddy, so their uptime is 99.9x% of the time.
I will look into this if it happens again. It should not. As of 4/25/11
4:40+pm Eastern time, they are up.
For lack of a better phrase, the problem appears to be "system specific" here.
I have a Windows machine, connected to the net via modem at 26.4, and the
opening page link works. I did not try the other two links.
modem at 26.4? Well that is really slow, and old?
I have a Mac machine, connected to the net via satellite, and the opening page
link does not work. The others do not either.
I have two leading suspicions as to why on the Mac. One, I'm not sure
Thunderbird (and Firefox) are working correctly for some reason, and I exceeded
my allowable data download limits for the Fair Access Policy on the satellite,
so my access speed on the satellite has been "slowed" to modem speeds. :-)
I do not deal with satellite services. I had the choice of DSL or Cable Modem
for broadband access. I choose Cable Modem since I am getting TV, Digital
Phone, and Broadband access in one package. If I used DSL, I would have had to
deal with two companies vying for the services. The DSL company offers Phone,
DSL, and Satellite TV.
My upload speeds are about 2 to 3 times standard modem speeds, so
uploading/sending large files can be a long process. The DVDs take over 5 hours
to upload [each] to the web site and every time a new version comes out, I have
to do at least 1.3 GB of uploading.
Hi :)
It is a shame we can't quite organise snail-mail (postal services) to deliver
new releases to people with limited download capabilities. A few people do seem
to manage it on a limited scale but hopefully this will be a growth market.
As for downloading in order to re-upload to another server elsewhere is there
some way of transferring directly so that we can bypass the download?
Ubuntu-One and other Cloud services would be useful if they could offer such
functionality.
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
Where are you located at? Generally located which Town/State/Country?
I am in Elmira, New York, USA.
I may be able to pop a DVD in the snail-mail to you next week, if you
are in the USA.
If not, it could take longer for one to get to you.
For specifics, email me at "[email protected]"
One of the reasons for our DVD project is give the low bandwidth people
a place to get a copy of a distribution DVD. Hopefully, soon, we will
have our DVD[s] available at a print-on-demand service, or at one of our
sites, for those who need a physical disc.
