Each time after 50-60 % , I will get permissive denied and the download stopped ..the worst thing is I cannot resume as doing so I will get IP block error

Please do something ...I have never encounter problem using the store purchase download ..but downloading from member page is a nightmare ..I know Matrixgames try to keep monitoring the download to prevent abuse ,,,but this is really a very frustrating issue and suck big time

please also consider to break the game installer into smaller part for easier download

Frustated Customer

Unfortunately our Members Club downloads are definitely not designed to handle as much of a load as the store can handle. I will speak with our admin and see what I can do to improve performance there. In the meantime, my best advice is to try again with a download manager like star downloader or internet download manager and see if that helps. Those can generally let you resume downloads rather than having to start over if they are interrupted.

Regards,

- Erik

Pretty sure your servers can't handle hosting a 1.5 gb download that is this popular.

Status: offline 		Hi guys,

I'm sorry, we thought our server would be able to handle the load but it has exceeded our expectations. Since the release, our download server has been at maximum utilization and our bandwidth is maxed out too. I've asked our admin to do what he can to improve the situation, but until more people complete their downloads and the load starts to decrease, I'm afraid patience is the only advice I can give.

regards,

- Erik

Yes, that should be possible. We'll do that ASAP.

I have similar problems downloading all of your patches but am generally able to work around it somehow. Not this time, and it is very frustrating.

76mm, I'm not sure what to tell you if the download isn't even starting. We have folks constantly downloading this 24 hours a day now and the downloads are starting and completing. If the small file solution doesn't work tomorrow, I'll see if we can put up a separate temporary download link to help deal with the load.

Regards,

- Erik

Can you at least confirm whether you have blocked downloads from Russia, which is where I am located?

Just throwing this out there and I can't speak for Matrix but at the hosting company I work for we have our servers set to only allow about 6 concurrent connections (to deter brute force hacking) and if you exceed that # you get your IP blocked in the firewall. That screenshot looks like you have Internet Download Manager set to its max 16 concurrent connection setting. You generally see 530 errors when FTP is down or an IP is blocked. Since everyone else is DL'ing it may be the IP got flagged at some point.

Turn off firewall and antivirus. See Double Deuce post about download managers. We use Filezilla. Free and will resume a broken connection. Ask your ISP if they are blocked.

Are you sure you are trying to download from the correct place?

Are you attempting to download the Demo or the Game? Have you been able to download other Matrix patches?

thanks

Status: offline 		The game, from the link in the members' section.

I can never download other patches (for WitE) from home, but can from the office. I am going to try to dowland the latest WitE patch today, so we'll see.

I guess it is possible that my ISP blocks Matrix's site, and my work is doing something else that effectively blocks the download, but I seem to get the same error both times (it just times out). Also, why would my ISP block Matrix's site? If they are, my chances of getting it unblocked are pretty slim, because customer service is not very high on their list of priorities.

Have you tried the download manager Erik recommended. We have had reports other download managers brands had cause a problem and not work. Also please make sure you are not using IE and the latest update that just was released in the last week or so. They have been a lot of download bugs being reported.

Also, I just successfully downloaded the lastest patch for WitE, so I really can't figure out why I cannot download this game. Maybe at this point I should just get a disc?
