FSdreamteam.com. That's the only web site I know of. I knew there was a catch to purchasing airport software at discount price.

We have two downloads servers: the FSX products (except JFK) are on www.virtualisoftware.com, which is located in the US, and should running at top speed.

The FS9 products + JFK for FSX are on fsdreamteam.com server, which is located in Italy, and with this one we are experiencing some slowdowns, due to the fact that we are trying to fight some spammers who are constantly overloading our server and eating up our bandwidth.

We are working right now to fix this, and it doesn't have anything to do with the promotion. If this proved to be a problem, we might extend the promotion a couple of days more, to give everyone a chance to download the installers.

However, it's possible to buy directly from the Web without having to download the installer (you can always download it later), as explained here:

http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=1284.msg10353#msg10353

With that direct link, it's possible to buy the products without having to download the installer. Once you secured your discount, you can take all the time you need to get the installer.

Thank you for your reply. I purchased your Ap's 2 days ago, but the bandwith is so bad, It taking almost 2 hrs to connect and download anything.

Hi,

I am downloading Geneva for FSX at the moment and download speeds are horrible (34kb/s). A faster server might be worth the investment.

Cheers,

Ingo

That's simply not possible. We JUST got a NEW server, which is an ISP (www.mediafire.com) that is specialized in big downloads and has *loads* of bandwidth and, judging from the server statistics, people are downloading very fast. Please, be sure you are using the links on the main Web page. The links posted on the forum were just temporary for JFK release.

I had to replace my HD.  I reinstalled all FS9 and started to reinstall JKF and ORD.  I was sent to MediaFile where I registered.  The .exe's that I was sent to in MediaFiles did not work.  I keep getting a msg that "4 errors on page".

What do I do now?

Thanks For Any Help!!
