List problems with the downloads/films here ...

I had a several issues downloading so I did this:

Took note of the file size at the beginning of the download. Unchecked the "Close this dialog when complete" box. When the download completed I verified that the newly reported filesize matched the first report. As some stopped prematurely.
 
The process that's running is not anything special. It simply triggers the same download in your browser as if you right-click and save as. As this always only seems to be an issue the first day of the announcement I have to assume it is a by-product of so many people downloading at the same time. I had hoped the extra mirrors would alleviate the issue, and in many cases it did. I will continue to look into solutions to improve the system in future fests.

Sorry for any inconvenience ... if a film doesn't play right try re-downloading it.

Peace,
Larry
 
I've tried "I love you, I'm sorry" a few times. It keeps quitting on me at around the 14MB mark. I'll keep trying...

Overall, everything is going smoothly.

Nice work!

Kyser - Just sent you a PM .. .let me know if that works better for you. If so, I'll know better how to prevent others from experience the same, or similar, issue with this film.

Thanks,
Larry
 
The servers not allowing me to download are Dauntless and Ramjet so the movies I cannot download are:
In Extremis, The Darkest, Psychosis and Charlie Black, Killer Instinct and A Little Mouth to Feed
 
Matt - there are 10 mirrors, so if you re-try a download it should pull from a different server. Just make sure to go back to the download listing page and select the film again. It will select a different mirror and attempt a download.

I just logged into both those mirrors without any difficulty, so it's just a traffic issue (too many requests to the same server at the same time).
 
A lot of the people are telling me they still can't view my film "I love you, I'm sorry" after three minutes it begins jumping and I tried it on three different machines and it really does break after three minutes... :(
 
Dmitry - I downloaded your film and it worked fine for me. I apologize for the trouble this is causing you. I've sent you a PM so we can try to work this out.
 
Larry -

I've tried downloading "INEXTREMIS" twice off my mirror and I keep getting the error dialog in QT that says "Error Opening Movie"

Looking on the server, the file is only 14.1MB, is that right?
Seems pretty small compared to the others.
 
Ok, that looks better. I dumped the files on your mirror and re-sync'd. The file sizes seem to make much more sense now.

I've put your mirror back in the rotation. Let me know if you have any more problems.

Peace,
Larry
