Maybe after xmas nexusdj hopefully when i've got TS2010. I'm having enough problems just trying to do a re-install of 2009 and my SP's again, pertaining to the SP4 failure. I knew i should've left well alone. But then if i get a FCT with 2010 it will probably be ok.

Fingers crossed guys and gals, According to the FTP graph the servers have been off line for maintenance and are showing clear on both at present, probably no one awake though at this time!

This is beyond belief as it's nearly been a month since i've not been able to download any content, well not much anyway. I've been lucky on a couple of occasions to download a few items but other than that all i've had is the "Download Link Unavailable" message. Ah well it's looking as though NV3 are gonna FORCE me into buying myself a FCT even though i recently bought TS2010.

Even worse when i do get the Download Page to appear available (like right now) all i get when i hit the Download ftp button is a stupid box in the corner of my screen asking me to log on to the FTP server.

It says -

"To log on to this FTP server, type a user name and password

FTP server files.auran.com
User name :-
Password :-

After you log on, you can add this server to your Favourites and return to it easily

Log on anonymously"

This is really, really winding me up now soon enough i'm going to throw something at my computer monitor. :evil:

That would be a bad idea, i once punched my laptop screen until it smashed, it was easy enough to repair, but it was costly and took time for the new one to arrive.

There is an interesting thread on the Auran Forum where a new guy had clicked on the 'Out of Date' tab in TS2010 and then tried to download everything that needed updating, which included everything on the DLS that was out of date. If there are others doing the same thing it's no wonder the DLS is always overloaded!

It was suggested that it could be down to the release of Trainz on the ipad but it's been to long IMO. I'm convinced it's a ploy by NV3 games to get users to purchase a FCT.

Well maybe the reason that it has been a long time is that there will be no staff in until Monday to sort out the problems.

Anyway, the situation is improving, if you look at the FTP server graph, you will find that while at the beginning of the problems there was too many connections written right down the page, more recently there have been quite a few occasions where it was able to download (perhaps to do with the fact that people are going back to work after the Christmas break).

Yes, i've just noticed that the staff aren't back until Jan 10th, actually thought they were started back yesterday. But this problem started back on Dec 10th a full fortnight before the staff broke up for xmas.

In the end I have given up and purchased a FCT for a year ( :oops: my fix for the year, but they will not get me to buy the duchess until we get a big offer or voucher from them! ;) ).

It took just 15 minute's to start to let me download again. I can't now see very much in items that would work on a British route that I have not already downloaded. My Trainz folder is over 60 Gig's (that does include some pay-ware stuff) so I think at long last I don't need any more scenery (except Marky's Cornish route one day :lol: ).

Sorry folk's, but I do think that we now need to buy a FCT no matter what version you have. At £16ish for a year maybe it's not too bad a hardship IF it helps get investment in for the next version of Trainz (New bugs to find!) :twisted:

Regards.
