Hi, hoping someone can help. I recently got myself a new laptop which will become my primary computer (plays FS9 very well), anyway I am using a dial-up connection and can not download from simviation. My download speeds are extremely slow in general for some reason (<1kbs) and I dont know why.
I managed to partialy solve the problem using a download accelerator. I still, however cannot download from here. If I try to download a file normally when I click on the download link it eventually times out. If I use DAP it is unable to establish a connection.

Any help?

You cannot use most download managers on the free site - that is because they make multiple connections to a file & effectively 'abuse' our bandwidth (with so many downloads & often with such big connections like cable - limits need to be put in place for the free site to make things realistic)

If you use a controlable download manager like 'getright' you can set the connection limit to 2 - & that should work.

The speed is due to your ISP. With those speeds it would be worth looking elsewhere.

Liek Mark said - you shouldn't need to use a d/l manager. Take a look at your firewall & if necessary add simviation.com & our other file servers (63.217.28.218 & 63.218.227.225) to the 'trusted sites'

I just found something else out. I can download fine from the commercial repaints section but no other sections. What's the difference with this section?

Hope someone can help
