Further more, those errors are not because low connection speed, i'm putting my bets on incorrectly coded download2.asp which totally bogs down server even in small request amounts (download2.asp contains the main file as attachment, which means user must download whole 68MB before script is fully ran through, considering the server load, this _will_ cause problems sooner or later (Script timeouts during download and so on)). My solution for this would be a queue.asp file which polls current connection pool allocated for donwloaders every 30s and then moves to download pool when acceptable (in meanwhile telling user current position in queue), reloading this page too often would drop user in back of the queue, quite simple to code if you know some ASP.PS. These are only some educated thoughts from professional webserver/java/asp coder, you might know better though as I don't have clue of your infrastructure in whole

Steve,maybe you are wrong with the number of people who are trying to download. I, for instance, have been trying since yesterday morning and do monitor the forum continuously. But I wouldn't post another angry statement because I don't believe it would be helpful. So there were any posts from me until now. And I believe there is a great number who do so as well.Greetings from Germany, Tom.

Can we please get a server status update? It has been down all morning again. The traffic is never going to decrease if nobody can ever get in.

Saturday I'll be away until April, I guess I'll be able to download it in April GGGrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!I know you guys at PMDG are doing your best and I respect your work and patience, but it doesn't take away the fact that I'm frustrated. Waiting until April requires more than patience.............Dan

...i remember a few month ago the same happened to SSW when they first released their A310. It took them quite a while to fix the problem and finally they went over to an FTP server...Michael.

NO GO HERE :(Best I've got is:QUOTEYou are Authorized for the following downloads: (We recommend Download Accelerator Plus V5.3 for downloading) File Name Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0113' Script timed out /shop/shoppingcart/download.asp The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can change this limit by specifying a new value for the property Server.ScriptTimeout or by changing the value in the IIS administration tools.UNQUOTEAlan

I suspect only the first few who happen to log on just after the server has been started up again can download. Then, probably after a few minutes, it just locks up tight as a clam again.I really do appreciate all the effort you guys are putting into this, and I hate to say this, but in the end I suspect you'd be better off investing into more or better hardware and professional support. This is going to drag on for weeks otherwise. The present setup obviously just can't cope.I hate to add to the negativity, but with just a few people being able to download each day, this is a very disappointing situation.Best,Martijn
