Hi all,I'm a bit confused as to how to tell whether the account is locked or if the server is busy or if the server is down.I know that if it's buy I'll get a HTTP 403.9 error saying that it's too busy, but if the account is locked do you get a (I think) 403: Forbidden error, or a 404 not fount or a "connection refused" error.The reason I ask is because I downloaded FlashGet on a recommendation from someone on the forum here and it's set to retry the download every 5 seconds and most of the time I'd get a 403.9 error saying it was busy mixed with the occasional "connection refused" error. Now it's only "connection refused," but I can't load anything, including the main page at www.precisionmanuals.com. Is the server down?Thanks for all your hard work and WONDERFUL communications!

Ah, you haven't had 403.6 'Connection from IP refused', you just aren't trying hard enough!:D Best Dudley Brooke

Hi Ian,error 403.6 means that you've been locked out for sure, 403.9 ('There are too many people trying to access the website') means that the server is too busy, all other errors could be either ;).Cheers,Gosta.http://www.hifisim.com/images/as2betateam.jpg

I thought I was the only one getting that, I feel better now. This forum is kinda like group therapy :)Blue SkiesKevin BTW is it me or is avsim running sloooow today?

Doh, now I've gone and done it. That'll teach me to click download in that program and walk away... just to see it'd been retrying every 5 seconds for the past half hour or more.Though, with the server load so high, I really doubt they're going to have to worry about fraud, not until it's easy to download everything. Oh well, this will force me to wait a while. :DAnd for Avsim being slow, that's an understatement! But at least the forums aren't on PMDG's server! I'd go crazy.

Hi Ian,I recommend you download and install the excellent KBOS scenery that's just been released last night from the Avsim library and check it out with the 737 in its current state - much more relaxing than trying to download the service pack every few seconds...Cheers,Gosta.http://www.hifisim.com/images/as2betateam.jpg
