Are you getting any kind of error message? Which browser are you using?

[pete]

You possibly did not 'allow' simviation when you 1st tried?

Sounds like something on your system is blocking access.

Some further info would help.

  I've been unable to d/l files from here for months now. I'm using Firefox, always the most recent stable release, no alpha/betas. I've also tried with addons turned off. I always get the message that says "Non-registered visitors can download only 2 files simultaneously. If you get this message in error please try deleting Temp Internet files (cache) in your browser". OK, so I've also flushed the cache, no temp internet files. Same result. Cookies all accepted, same result. And I was never asked to allow anything when I login here.

Of course we make sure all browsers work. A substantial % of our users use FF including me. If there was a general site problem, believe me we would be hearing about it all the time  - plus site usage would have decreased. Neither are the case.

The problem you describe is because your system is trying to make multiple connections to our files. This happens either from browser cache or some kind of download assistant. It IS a rare problem. Emptying browser cache has always fixed it from users who have communicated with us in the past.


I'm sorry you're having this little issue but if you spend a bit of time you could easily fix it. & yes we have 100's of files uploaded exclusively to Simv -- Other sites do take them but it's not my job to be interested in that unless a developer has a problem and needs our support to have a file removed.

Is anybody listening to my woes, i have tried many browsers and different computers, paid my money but no downloads.

[pete]

Yes I have suggested further things too such as turning off firewall & antivirus and trying to connect.

[nobber5]

Sorry my patience has dried up I have tried 3 different browsers 3different computers turned my anti virus on and off tried a different provider cleared my cache and still no joy so I am now using one of your competitors as their site allows me to download.
