LossFest - Viewing & Technical Issues - Please check here first for issues

On two occasions while downloading Gangs and Gangsters my computer went into a tailspin, and now I can't download anymore films.

I missed a few, so I'll try and see them after the repair.

Weirdness.


aw
 
okay -- I PM'ed Larry R.
Larry: if you're out there, help me out!
I need to vote tomorrow, or else I won't have time.

Thanks guys.
 
just write them down, then you can click them all in when you get your voting privies.

larry is busy today, but should be back in tonight sometime and wiill get you taken care of.

later,
Jason
 
i've been told via facebook that my film hasn't been loading successfully for some, but stopping halfway? I tested it and it worked fine but maybe one of the servers has a corrupted file?
 
could be possible. if anyone encounters an issue with a download, the first step is to try to download again to see if it is the same problem when another server gets hit, and then of course report the issue to us.

If someone experiences the issue and can tell us which server it is, it will make it easier, but otherwise... just make sure you pm Larry and he can push to all of the servers again to be on the safe side. We've got 5 or 6 mirrors in place, so there is a fair amount of redundancy.

later,
Jason

Justin - should be able to rate entries now.



Zak - I hadn't heard from anyone that they were having problems with any of the downloads. I'll double check the mirrors, make sure they are fully sync'd.

Sometimes it is an aborted download that causes a partial play of a film, if their connection breaks or slows too much the browser will sometimes terminate the download. If it's enough of the file Quicktime will still play it, but it will stop at the point where the download broke. Re-downloading will usually resolve it, assuming you have the bandwidth to receive the full download.

thanks larry, but please dont go thru the trouble. it's probably as you said -- download issues on their end. i checked my file on a few of the servers and they seem fine.
 
For the record ... I did go through all the entries on all the mirrors to ensure we had a full sync. Whenever there is a reported issue, I try to do everything I can on our end to ensure its not a problem from our end ... either because it's not an issue from our end, or because I identified the source of the issue and resolved it.
