Thanks for the input Daisy – I tried that and unfortunately have the exact same result.
And thanks Abaddon for the update about speed.
Today there was another batch of updates – and guess what – the last file is doing the same thing again – at about 26/27MB, the dl speed spikes to 12M and then goes into freefall down to 0 within 30 seconds.
The first 380-odd files downloaded quickly but that last big file is just not coming down.
I guess I’ll keep trying – last time it only took about 20 restarts to get that last file down.
It’s happened before – I think it’s either a corrupt source file on one of the replicas or the servers can’t cope with the demand for very large files –
Some people say they have no problems at all – I think if you have really high dl speeds, it is no problem, but if you only have about 500k average dl like me, then it does time out – in my case, it repeatably times out at around 26MB / 27MB.
Would love to see ANet’s input on this….
And, after trying about 24 times, it finally succeeded.
