server busy - this site is really popular....
and how do you propose we make the server 'un-busy?' after all, it's not like someone has a button on their desktop labeled 'send server-busy message.' or a 'buy more servers' button, for that matter.
accessing the site via the skin browser should make it a bit easier to get on, if i recall correctly.

WDMaze plays the devil's advocate for a second...
"But, you have to pay for the SkinBrowser! Why should I pay for that when I can hit your website and download oodles of stuff for free, then come in and nag about the download limit and server busy messages???"
ok... so maybe I shouldn't play devil's advocate any more... it didn't work out quite the way I expected it to.....

The original post has a certain amount of irony to it. He accuses the admins/hosts of being morons, yet the logic of his post is moronic because it implies that the admins prefer to keep the site overly busy and overtaxed and that they're not intrested (or too stupid) in making the site more efficient.
Why is it that when such people post such things, they never bother to think things through logically? ...sigh...
Den Beste said it best with the old engineering axiom "nothing is impossible for the man who doesn't have to do it himself".

Think of the logic, the servers are busy because there is so much traffic; what kind of moron sees that and yet still keeps trying and trying to get through, thus adding to the congestion and ensuring the server stays too busy for them to connect?

I've never seen one of these messages. But I bought my copy of Object Desktop so I get premium access to the site.

I too purchased object Desktop from Stardock - but that doesn`t stop the main problem of how the hell you get anything to download off this site anymore. For the last couple of weeks, I havn`t been able to download one windowblinds skin. Not one. Pretty disappointing.

Here we go again!
Citizen Fooncha, try going the Wincusto Browser route. (Yeah! I know! US$20.00 for a couple of years, cheap at twice the price!)
NO trouble downloading ANYTHING, peak or off-peak.
Citizen 'Necrophilia' might be a more appropriate name for the originator of this thread?

foonacha - Object desktop gives you access to all the cool programs for sure but it's the Skinbrowser subscription that puts you first in line for the downloads. Like the werewolf, I've never seen a busy notice.
Re the originator of the thread, it might be interesting to track the number of threads started each week by trolls with the same sad bitch. Brad - you like stats, how about this one?

I think if the server is busy it would stop many people from comeing back as oppossed to makeing more people come to the site.
Just my opinion.

My understanding is that registered customers of stardock apps also have priority status at WC, not just WC subscribers. Is that not correct?
Foomacha: yes, email T-man as migelito says. I don't believe you should be having those problems, at least certainly not to that extent. Not if you're a registered stardock app user and your WC account is synched with your stardock account.

I've been on this site for about 15 months. The first 6 as a visitor. The rest I signed up for an account. I've never experienced 90% of what these posts reflect. It's been slow at times but not to the extent that I could not download. Either I'am extremly lucky or this site has realy grown. I subscribed 3 months ago to help keep this site viable for the supporters as well as the freeloaders. So until you've anted, up shut up.
