recent downloads don't work...

Friday, June 6, 2003 by Bonzo1223 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

any recent skins, walls, anything really havent worked, the preview doesn't work and theres no file found when trying to download...theres been alot of really really good work released lately and the only way to view it is that tiny picture in the comment window.

is this a server problem? or a computer problem? some people can download it, some can't.

i'm sorry if this has been discussed, i didn't see any threads with the topic, can anyone please help me?

Bonzo, I had the same problem. Anything posted in the libraries within the past 24 hrs (approx) refused to download (http error 404). Finally updated the libraries on my Wincustomize Browser, surfed the site using that and got Pasley's 'Navy' to download on the first try---woo hoo! Still don't know what the problem is but it was driving me up the wall

i'm getting pretty tired of this problem, but becuase wincustomize totally rules i can't just go somewhere else. i hope they can fix this soon, i go to this site like 20 times a day (no joke) so i'm guessing me and many others are going through withdrawal

I have noticed when I try to DL a WB using my Fresh Download accelerator, I will get "File not Found", and when I click on the DL button, it will automatically start downloading into my Internet Temporary File and not give me any options to DL it anywhere else.

I know everything is being worked on, so I am only adding my findings for future reference.

No problems here at all. But, I'm a registered user. Still, when I cleaned my cache, and I went to Wincustomize and I had the same problem. So, I closed it and reopened it and I logged on first with my registered password account. No problems. Everything works, all downloads and previews.

Wonder why some have problems and others don't. I don't have a problem downloading. Hum.

I think logged-on customers/apprentice on up users rarely if ever have this experience...it''s usually people who are not registered and download without logging on?

spelling ACK!

Taaa-Daaa!!

I believe I have found the problem and a cure for those who can't download any of the skins, there seems to have been an addressing error that points to skins . stardock . com rather than skins . wincustomize . com.
Use the following links and you can download my new additions:

Shapeshifter for CursorXP
http://skins.wincustomize.com/Ph00ey/cursorxp/shapeshifter.zip

Popeye for CursorXP
http://skins.wincustomize.com/Ph00ey/cursorxp/popeye.zip

Here's an easy way to do the same for any other skins you want to download... right click on download and choose "copy shortcut" paste that url into your browser as the address and replace stardock with wincustomize in the address and that should do it!

I figured I'd better come up with a quick fix rather than an excuse before anthony roberts started drinking our blood and eating our flesh!
