Difficulty downloading from DP Simulation

For the last 3 days I haven't been able to download anything from Richard Fletcher's page on Darren's site, but can download from other pages without problem!

Links on Richards page just throw up the following...

" Network Error (tcp_error)

A communication error occurred: ""
The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time. "

Just want to check first if it is just me/my setup or if it is a known problem.

Just downloaded a file with no problems, could be a setting on your computer blocking the site

Thank you - off to check my settings...seems odd that one part of Darrens site would be blocked.

Seems that for me it is just the Mediafire hosted files.

I suggest you check with your ISPs whether they are blocking Mediafire.

Just to point out that DP Simulation pays to access advert free downloads from Mediafire.

In the past when downloading stuff from people/organisations using the freeware access version of MF (if that's the right description), my AVG has objected on the grounds of risky pop-ups, malware etc etc.

Not sure if this a relevant point here but it did cross me mind.

Downloads working fine for me.

The downloads from your section of the website aren't working on my end either.

I have tried turning the antivirus software off to see if that made any difference, but the same result occurred.

I have also tried the main site for Mediafire but that seems to be working OK.

Thank you everyone for getting back - seems that at least a few people are having problems but that it may be isolated to the few (so good to know you aren't alone in having a problem!).

I echo supersprinter16's comment about being able to download direct from Mediafire and another site (Mully's - http://mullys.webs.com/) so who knows what has happened on our rigs if others aren't affected!

Thanks again

Rod

Have you tried a different browser?

I was having trouble downloading something from another trainsim site with chrome. I switched to Firefox and it worked?

Thanks for that.. I've read some forums.. and BT have blocked mediafire in the past... maybe the problem lies with them!
