WHY CAN'T I DOWNLOAD SKINS?

Saturday, June 7, 2003 by Bokiopaki | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Last few days I can't download Windowblinds skins. When I click on download link I get the message The page cannot be found. I even can't see the screenshots of a skins. The last skin on the current page whose screenshot I see and the last one I can download is Terminator 3 skin. Newer skins I just can't download and there are no screenshots. The same problem I have with the wallpapes and DesktopX. What's wrong????

I'm also having the same problem..
Tried deleting cookies and clearing out my temp files.. still no new downloads for me
Haven't been able to even preview the last five or six wb skins, let alone download them

Very odd. But I can tell you one reason why:

You've both downloaded over 200 megs of skins/themes from WinCustomize and the system starts to prevent users who have used that amount of bandwidth and are not customers of any of the programs or WC premium subscribers from downloading more.

But it should give you a normal seeming error message.

I'm getting a lot of complaints in the comments section from users consistently getting a 404 error. I have no idea if they are or are not hitting their download limit, but a 404 error isn't a download limit error

Yeah I don't think it's being denied because of downloading that much Frogboy because I can still download skins.. just not new skins. It's very strange.
Plus there's no way I've downloaded 200megs

On Monday?
Do you have any idea of the massacre that this incident can cause? We are talking about genocide in here.
I can just picture the amount of computers that have been trown against walls, smashed with sledge hammers and destroyed beyond recognition.
Damage stimates will be posted Monday morning.
WC has a huge law suit coming

OK. Someone hates me. Sure. I mean, recently I've installed WB 4 and discovered very odd problems with standard buttons. I posted here, read everything here and on the newsgroups and everywhere but there's no cure (and now I'm suppose to buy WB 4, yeah wright!).
And now came this second problem - I CAN'T DOWNLOAD SKINS!!!! > > > > And like Mr Sinistre,I can download old skins, just not new. And I really doubt that I've downloadeed 200 MB. Will someone fix all this problems or what?

Please read what MadIce said.  Please remember that the admins are volunteers and are not here 24/7.  I'm sure that T-Man is enjoying the weekend with his family.  We'll look into it on Monday during business hours.  (the coding of the site is paid for my Stardock, so it happens during regular business hours).
