cannot download any scenery

[fliegzeuger]

Hey there,

I cannot download any of your sceneries. Some time ago i purchased JFK and wanted to reinstall it now but the download fails. I ger forwarded to a "mediafire.com" page.

Any solution

thx

Works fine here. Try to either refresh the page, or clear your browser cache.

When trying to download the FSX versions of KORD and KJFK, the following message is shown:

"This file is temporarily unavailable because there are no resources available under the owner's account."

I tried clearing the cache and cookies.  I still received the same message.

That message doesn't have anything to do with cookies and browser cache, it's just that you guys are downloading like crazy, and ate all our bandwidth assignement for this month so, we simply had to buy more...

Try now, it should work.

And at the moment, MAY 7th @ 2200 PST, I can't download Geneva. Gettin the mediafire deal...

There are no problems here. And, checking the logs, 36 people have successfully downloaded LSGG yesterday so, there are no problems with the file.

As I've said, if you ever get the download error, the solutions are always these:

- refresh the page: the link might have been updated, but your browser is not showing it up yet.

- if the above doens't work, clear the browser cache.

- if the above doens't work, delete all cookies from mediafire.

Virtuali, Quite naturally I did all that or otherwise I would not have replied in this topic with all above instructions posted. I don't know what the nearest mirrors are to Los Angeles but the downloads are not working from here... I had to reinstall my sceneries last night and FS kept saying they were outdated. So I downloaded all of them again but Geneva is simply not working... I thought the addon manager would have cleared all that... I just tried again, and whereas all I need is Geneva, none of the sceneries are downloading a this point.

EDIT: It's working now.

I think this might be different for different people, because of the DNS updates. Mediafire uses a *lot* of servers, probably thousands, and on a specific link, the actual IP address might change several times.

What makes the connection between a name and the IP are the DNS servers, and those are usually handled by your ISP so, if your ISP has DNS servers that get updated slower, not all users might get the correct IP addresses at the same time. That's probably why it simply started to work after some time.

One solution might be, instead of connecting with the default DNS servers offered by your ISP, to use the OpenDNS servers, see the link below for instruction how to use them, it's really simple:

the use is totally free, and I usually noticed to be more reliable and updated faster than the one offered by my ISP.
