• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I get that message as well, just assumed it was a load reducing function stopping heaps of downloads being kicked off in quick succession. If you wait the one minute you can then commence your next download.

regards Rob.
 
Capt. Wingters is correct. This is the normal 60 second wait time between downloads.

Make sure you are not using a download manager. They do not work with our forum software.

AFAIK Everyone can only download one file at a time, (and without a dl manager), and then must wait 60s or so until one can downlaod another. If you do that are you downloading OK??
 
The 60 second wait was implemented because of server load problems a few months ago. The downloads were killing the server. They kept crashing the forum database and pushing the server to the brink of self destruction.

Hence New controls had to be added to prevent a total failure of the system.

We simply put had more people downloading files than the server could handle.

The only fix is a newer server with more CPU cores and way more ram.

We well look into that after the bandwidth drive completes next month.

Changes like this we're something Ickie was looking into before he passed.
 
ok thanks ,, i hope the admin .... can fix this for future .... development ,,,, and ongoing growth .again thanks for explanation ...joshua ...canada
