Download Area Info

[sscadmin]

I have updated the plugin for the file manager area in everyone's profile, if you are having issues please let me know so I can investigate. With moving servers recently I could have missed a file permission or a group permission preventing you from doing something so please speak up if you see anything. And if possible give specifics, because permissions are on a group/access basis so its nice to know what you were doing to cause the problem.

Thanks

I added a 'Download Area' link to the main menu. Some folks have been complaining of issues downloading larger files. This should fix that problem, and the other download function is still enabled for those that like a cleaner look. I will try to make that new area look more professional later, but for now it should allow you to download only.

For uploading you will still need to use that other download area in your profile or let me know where to get the file and I will add it for you.

Since the site was upgraded this area has changed a little, yes you can still access this area from your profile area. But now you can access it right from the main menu at the top of the screen (ie: Download Terminal). Clicking this link will now bring you to the download area and from here you can upload and download files listed in the file manager. I am still trying to optimize this area since there have been reports of file downloads failing or stopping when almost complete. I need to investigate further into apache and goddady linux hosting to see if there is something restricting larger file downloads/uploads through the tool.I have tested this with my connection and I was able to download files that were several hundred MB's in size I will try some larger files soon to verify this is working. But here is a screenshot that should help you resolve download issues:[attach]5[/attach]Note: I have yet to try to upload large files via the tool, I ususally uploaded them via FTP because its quicker. So if you have any files over 100MB let me know and I can upload them for you.

Hi,
any chance for FTP download access? I am trying to download 75MB file but the transfer is 20kb/s and it fails after a few megabytes. There is no resume option available on the server.

If you follow that screenshot above that should get you the direct link to the file you are trying to download which doesn't use the gui based download system. I have had no problem downloading 1+ gb files using that method.

Unoftunately when I r-click on the link and copy it I am getting a link to downloads only
[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/downloads/[/url]

when I add the above path and make a link look like
[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/downloads/#-F/FFED3D/FFED3DAJ_v1.11_CoreFiles.zip[/url]
I am getting a 404 error.

 Try what I did below, I was able to download that file without issue:

I followed the screenshot. It worked finally... on Windows/Firefox.
on Linux/Firefox the link wasn't full. I can't believe this can acutally happen
Thanks!
