Fest Master
If you have any problems with the login, viewing, and/or voting on the twilight fest page, please report them here so I can just check one place to find and resolve issues.

Also, if you experience any problems with any of the films, report it here and I will research it as quick as possible.

Thanks,
Larry
 
Twilight fest zip 04 is a 404 Not Found on Mikko's server. It downloads from someone else's just fine.

Twilight fest zip 10 also 404's on eefilm's server.
 
larry, tried to DL my film first to check that it was okay. here's what i get.

404 Not Found

The requested URL /twilightfest/launch.php?id=1400264 does not exist.
 
Larry, since you're at it. Most of the redirects to Mikko's server go 404, at least any I was redirected to.

Quick heads up. I had several issues with it. But one of the mirrors has worked for all the zips.
 
Ben, granted I didn't set up the servers. But try to download it again. There should be several mirrors that are chosen at random. A few servers had issues on the zip downloads. But there are several out there. I think if you try it again - you might get bounced to someone else's server that doesn't 404. You might still get bounced to a server that is 404 a few times, but it should eventually send you towards a live one.
 
There was an issue with two of the mirrors. I fixed it and they should now work.

And, yes, the mirrors are chosen semi-randomly, so if you have a problem with a download the first solution is to try downloading again (but be sure to let me know so I can look it into it).

Thanks for the heads up guys ... hopefully that change fixed the problem
 
I did a test on my film. Downloaded pretty quickly but it won't play in quicktime. Not sure why. Could be a server thing or a file issue?
 
try downloading again and let me know if the redownload works better. In the meantime I'll check the mirrors again and see if there is an issue with your file on one of them
 
I just downloaded your entry from each of the mirrors and it downloaded complete from each of them. If it's cutting off mid-download then that is a connectivity issue. If you are download more than one or two files simultaneously that can cause problems depending on your connection speed.

The load is pretty evenly spread out over the mirrors, so there shouldn't be a problem of too many simultaneous downloads.

Are you able to download any of the other entries?
 
The download/voting page title is still TIME fest.

Zips 7-14 are all the exact same size? Is that right?

I am at work so I haven't tried other entries but in all likelihood it probably is my connection. This place has horrible net access. I will try again tonight when I get home. Sorry for the trouble.
 
Is there another way to watch these? I have been trying since this morning and cannot download one damn film. I have some kind of major internal battle going on in my computer, and yes I have already been through all frickern hoops of reinstall, eliminating cookies and all that.

Nothing works. About ready to give up.

I had no prblems last fest.

I'm giving up. Nothing works short of buying a new computer, and I'm well beyond my melting point here. Maybe it's a conectivity issue.
