Servers down, but they say I have 92 downloads left....funny
Looks they are counting the failed attempts....

Yes they do it seems.
Well I have it.
Try downloading 2:00am in the morning from the world server if in the USA maybe??
Took me about 3 - 4 hours.
Haven't installed first.
I have a weird question - anyone know a registry entry or some other way that shows exactly where REX is installed ? (I mean without looking at the shortcut or browsing to it etc, won't bother with the long explanation why, the short explanation is: junction points, moved files, deleted shortcut but didn't uninstall, need to put back for upgrade)

Used the torrent download and got it done in less than 3 hours...but there seems to be an issue with the pictures of the various textures/clouds showing up in the interface. I'll check it out again tomorrow...been kind of busy today.
2 hrs later I found out what I did wrong. Be sure to read the installation instructions very carefully!

A few points:
1) I was so used to ignoring "advertising" I suppose you could call them at the top of forums and using instead the forum heading to navigate that I almost missed this instruction page which as far as I can see you can only get to by clicking an ad and in fact downloaded (incorrectly in my case) the 4GB essentials file from my flightsimstore account (I thought that is why you had to post you wanted an update on the forum with your FSS order number) rather than the updater which is only 1GB (I had the Rex Overdrive 2.5.2010.1027 which only needs the updater). So check here first !

2) They now have an Amazon link up for downloads. It was good and fast enough.
3) Clicking on the Amazon link doesn't bring up my flashget downloader. I needed to copy a link to get it to work. I had to work out which one it was by looking at the page source - which was a bit tricky. I clicked to download it in Firefox first and made a note of the domain it showed then searched the source for that. Maybe just happens for me that one. Nothing to do with the link just how flashget works on my PC for some reason.
Worked good the first time - wow at sunrise at Koh Samui (Thailand)!!
Only thing is water, while OK in the day, is a bit odd with a hazy black grainy effect at sunrise. Will have to try out a few more textures.

Just typical; installed Plus and nowhere was there any interesting weather to fly in....
The most important thing to me is the reduced loading time! No more 10-15 minutes of waiting..
There are probably a few more things new (Like the interface); there's a list here: http://www.realenvironmentxtreme.com/news.html
A few uneditted screenshots, except for a bit of cropping; Spitfire over Megascenery Hawaii:
