Anybody tried downloading Mormegils Xmas Wall in the last couple of hours?
I have now tried 4 times and cannot get the whole file. I know its not just me as i have just had an email from someone else with the same problem. Have we got a server or library problem

yrag....Gary just returned to the thread....i am away from my own computer at the moment but will check server etc when i get home and try again and then let you know how i get on. Your tech help and pointers are always invaluable.
I am praying that this is a temporary prob and limited to just a few of us as Pat has enough on his plate at the moment without worrying him about this

BTW.......jafo/China Cat......You obviously got broadband....You lucky, lucky, lucky people.....where i live the phone exchange consists of a couple of rodents running around a tread mill so that may account for the problem

yrag........Gary nice try but i have had a crack at both servers using both IE and WC browser and same everytime......never had this problem before with any skin or downloading anything from any site for that matter and some of the files have been much larger than this one.......i am on dial up with a quite reasonable speed of 5kbs. You will see there are posts from two others with the same problem on the walls comments so my guess that there are quite a few people who have had the same prob........Can't think of anything else but it just seems strange that it seems to be only effecting some people.........ADSL users appear OK.......Any other folks on dial up having the same problem with this skin?

hm...sounds like this is that same thing that keeps happening to me when I try to download the Winter 2003 WB skin. I can never get the whole file to download...it poops out in the middle of the download, then wbload.exe crashes. when I've tried to do the old change the .wba extention to .zip to try extracting it, I get a message that the .zip file is corrupt.
weird.

Yes, i guessed it there are major problems with downloading these skins for some people. Now all we got to do is work out why? and a solution.

OK this is what I found out: I downloaded this wall with Internet Explorer,Mozilla,SDC(both servers) and Wincustomize Browser on 2 different computers. For a grand total of 10 downloads and that doesn't count for the 11 times before that. And I came up with zip, a 2.5mb empty zip file. I downloaded a WB skin and a wallpaper today and they worked fine.
Leo I'm on a dial up with the same speed connection between 5 & 6 kbs.

Monty its a good job that you raised this - i think this is a bigger problem with this skin than we realise. I bet quite a few others have had the same problem but either have not reported it or just put it down to the Great Thanksgiving Server Crash 
Now if only i could find yrag........or IP.......they are wizops with this sort of problem
