Simviation Forums

I have downloaded many files previously from the site, and I love the service, but now when I am trying to download files I am getting the following errors for any file that I try to download (so far only from the FSX Military page)

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at simviation.com:8888.

the url is showing up as http://simviation.com:8888/download?fil ... 16b75b7695

Hello,

Situations like this are always temporary.

Just tried and the links works ok.

Let me know if you have further problems.

Thank you.

Pete

Just tryed again with firefox, still no luck, same error message.

Same with IE.

Update: Right now the main site is crawling slow, maybe i'm timing out before I can make a connection to the download servers, but I can't see where in Firefox I can increase the time out limit.

This is my trace route:

Hi

The server has not been down and therefore a ping will always work.

Can you provide a tracert?

that is the tracert for today, same as the one I posted yesterday.

Hi

This is not a tracert

Can you please do the following

Go to Start - All Programs - Accessories - Command Prompt

Type 'tracert www.simviation.com'

Right click the black window box and 'select all'

This will copy the results to your clipboard. You can then paste in the results.

Should look somthing like this

Hi,

Well it's good to hear this and thanks also for the feedback.

It is far better that problems are aired in the open as this helps with feedback and maybe others with a similar problem will read this.

It also helps me to deal with future similar problems
