Shackleton for FsX - Now released!

My download got up to 22Mb before it dumped, now I'm not even getting 3Mb. I'll wait and try again in the wee hours of the AM. :)

Its definitely not server load causing their issues. I downloaded two files one 16 mb and the other 34 mb with out a problem. Then I tried the Shackleton again. It failed again as expected.

While I was downloading all three of the files I was running a wireshark capture to view the network traffic between their server and myself. When I hit the Shackleton download it generates a lot of error messages it does not generate on the other files.
 
After trying all day, I just had a good download from the BritSim site. I did a quick flight to make sure all is well. Seems to be good here in Maine.
 
Smooth and fast download for me (fiberglass internet connection though), and an eazy install as well.

Thanks Britsim! :salute:
 
Thank you Gentlemen

Nice to know I am not going crazy.....Its worth the wait - I notice that the number of downloads is starting to pickup in the last hour or so. Using the likes of hostmonster or godaddy puts you at THEIR pleasure so bandwidth depends on them, NOT Britsim. Anyway it is available right now, so get it, Rob has excelled himself this time. Its a thing of beauty.

Well I don't use hostmonster or godaddy and I can't download it either. Same issues as so many others have reported. Obviously a problem at the "other" end... It does looks like a nice plane though. Thanks for trying to help, Dave...
 
I was able to download the file after seven consecutive tries.. its a really nicely done aircraft and worth the effort, but now ive got a whole bunch of bad zip files that will have to be deleted.. oh well..

Hey Warchild, my son came in the door literally 5 minutes ago, he spent the weekend in a cabin on Baker Mntn WA, but he presented me with a 2 cases of beers from Bend, some Rogue and Twilight. It eases my pain not getting the Shack tonite. Thank you Bend Oregon. :icon29:
 
::LOL:: then at least one good thing has come yourn way today.. Definately hope you enjoy the beer.. :ernae:
 
The Shackleton is well worth getting, I downloaded it on my second try. The reccomended engine sounds are awesome, my headphones were lit up and vibrating almost painfully. No surprise that real world crew members had a legacy of hearing problems. Thanks very much Rob and Gary.
 
Finally got the Shack and the sound package downloaded with no problems. What a great airplane! Haven't dropped any bombs or rafts yet, will do that later today (Mon). Thanks to the folks at BritSim who created this bird, and to Garry for the sound package. :salute:
 
I don't know if I have fiber or not, but I do get blazing fast downloads, it's just that, in this case, there's no plane in the download. I almost got it this morning. It got to 50% before crapping out again.
 
For everyone having difficulty downloading this, I've uploaded the aircraft to rapidshare. Links below.

One should really exercise a little patience and wait 24 hours or so.
All the "Gotta have it NOW" lot will have gone away and it is a case of one click and done she comes.

Sorry people, the Rapidshare link has been deleted as it is 'un-authorised' by the Britsim team.
 
Hi all
Britsim down for the time being, I managed to download on Rapidshare
in a whiff ....
