SW web site - download loop?

Am I the only one having trouble getting into the subscription area.

I have a 'paid up' maintanance in place but seem to be in a loop on
the SW site when trying to get SP2.1

Perhaps this is actually for my own good ! ;-)


I have reset my IE to a lower security as requested by SW but still no
luck.

Is anyonne else experiancing this - 9.45 am GMT Monday

 

they might be fixing the download area?

Won't give details, but it is possible to download a SP without giving a
serial number.

i've had the same problem, but about at 11 o'clock gmt+1 i was finally
able to download sp 2.1.

btw, it seems they've a shaper on european downloads: i wasn't able to
download upgrades at more than 80kb/sec each.
i mean: one file, 80kbyte/sec. two files, 80kb/sec each. three files,
80kb/each again... it is no bandwidth problem...

cheers

Thanks Gianni

Still no luck here. I have noticed that sw2004 sp2.1 is now at the
top of the list above the installion bulletin when ealier it was
below.

But I cannot even get into the model library ( although I don't think
it has been updated for a few months).

Some of my Internet Explorer 6 setting must be damaged as the SW site
does not seem to remeber my login serial number like it did in the
past.

really?

hmm. that's definately a SW issue then, as the same thing occasionally
happens to me. Using MozillaFirebird.

Perhaps they are busy upgrading their website's download section with
a WI-style service pack.

 

funny, but no.

the download site runs a realOS: Solaris. And apache, btw.

 

I have tried the site with Kameleon Browser and still get the same
loop -

I have sent SW and email and they have relpied that they are looking
into it. I await their investigations.

Has anyone actually been able to download sp2.1 today?

I get the following loop - the links are in the order I get sent
through the site.

and then loops over and over

Just tried it as a test. No problem. 07:53 AM (PST)

Maybe a long shot but......

It sounds as though you have cookies turned off. I had similar problems when I tweaked IE to not accept cookies.

Thanks Dave - the problem must be at my end

Thanks for everybodies help and suggestions.

I tried 'repairing' IE6 with is repair facility.

I tried setting security to 'low'

I accepted every cookie going - but no luck

So I junked IE6 and went back to IE5 and - Yes you guessed !! It
worked.

I am downloading sp2.1 - but then I might not use it reading all the
woes people are having.


Does it speed up the 2d drawings?

I hope so.
