Hi Guys: Seems there is more going on than just the HiFi servers going down. The store front for purchases are down as well. Not good when you advertise a sale.

It is indeed strange, never ever experienced such a long lasting connection issue. I am afraid of the worst...

To be honest, as we are not talking about a free software, not even a cheap one, I would at least expect some infomation on what is going on, some updates from the developers.

Hi,

the silence from HiFi is deafining - servers still down and no comment.

Starting to get very nervous about this.

If they are going to stop suplying the data they could at least send a email to the customers who purchased it and tell us what their intentions are.

I mean I cant download from either server now

Exactly this is what I am afraid of: they stop supplying data. I hope I'm wrong and just overreacting the situation, I hope it's just a minor technical issue.

I can get to their website and ASE is downloading right now... Your world is falling and they vanished in the middle of the night attitude is completely unfounded...

Nothing strange at all, because there were two download processes in 30 min as set in the option, first was finished at 21:08, second started at 20:38.

But doesn't matter anyway, since problems seem to be Fixed now.
