    This is bad. For now I'll just disable the ads page, and try to see what's causing this.

    Thanks for letting me know there's a problem.

    It should work now. And I do mean it should, since it's all up to how lucky you are.

    Could more people help me test this thing ?

    Edit: Upon inspecting the ticket database, I see there were about 3000 people who have. Damn.

    Ok, this settles it - the download system's going down for maintenance. In 5min max the old direct links will be back up. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    I'll look into it. As luck would have it, the download section works flawlessly on every computer I test it on - denying me the opportunity to identify the problem.

    Maybe try right-clicking the final download link and using 'save as...' instead.

    This happens when you try to use the same link more than once, or at least I think that's what I experienced...

    I think I've fixed the problem... or at least one of many problems that trouble the download section. Try downloading now.

    Thanks for letting me know.

    As for other flaws, resuming downloads doesn't work yet, so don't pause these big files unless you're prepared to re-download them from the start.

    However, tickets are good until you've actually finished downloading the file, so you won't have to grab another ticket if the download fails the first time - just restart the download in the browser.

    It's working flawlessly for me. The whole system doesn't seem like it renders right with Chrome, but I'm successfully downloading LDoS.

    That's good to hear.

    Let me know if any other problems pop up in the DL section. Whatever I do, I (usually) make sure it works 100% correct on my end, so if there are any glitches left I most probably just don't know about them.

    I've changed the screen with the final download link, it should be less of a nuisance now.
