Pete,

I can no longer download the terrain files.  I have got as far as EA37 and can't seem to get any more of them.  From what I have seen so far they are bloody brilliant.  Is there a server issue?

I have tried at various times of the day for two days with no luck.  

Sorry for the hassle

Will

Yes - a problem does indeed seem to have occured!

To be honest this whole procedure is testing  a new download method & obviously work still needs to be done to get it right.  It was working fine at 1st but seems to now be preventing ftp access via http. So far I cannot see why this has happened.

I've already made several changes to the FTP server so far & will continue to try to resolve the problem. If I allow unlimited access to these files it would be disastrous. The general huge file sizes of today combined with increased site usage are causing major problems.

Meanwhile I apologise

Pete,

I tried for he last couple of days too.  No luck.

No big deal....just thought you should know that Will is not alone and it is not an isolated problem.

best,

Seems to be working now. I had to reboot the file server. The ftp downloads are still in beta testing stage & all reports are welcome. thanks  8)
