Yep, I used download manager for first download, I didnt open new download until the last one wasnt finished just because of this issues. When I attempt to download second file I got a message about blocking. I understand that servers are overloaded, I understand that this is free download so that I need to wait. But waiting for an hour or more? Maybe my browser did send multiple request or something gone wrong. I understand that too, so I disabled download manager just to download this map. And btw, I use adblocking addon on firefox because I really really hate adds. Thanks anyway and sorry to interrupt you.

As I've said multiple times do not use download managers as they put unnecessary load on our servers. This is why you were blocked. The download manager will attempt to use as many connections as possible. I never said 2 files at once, I have always said 2 download threads at 200kb/s each (max of 400kb/s per user at any given time) - you could either use this to download 2 files at 200kb/s each using one connection each, or 1 file at 400kb/s and risk getting your IP blocked because you'll be using a download manager then. The download manager will always seek more connections, our servers deny this and if it is attempted too many times then boom, you're blocked.

So again. Don't use download managers on the free download. If you do, you honestly deserve to be blocked as they put so much strain on servers in general.

thanks, I undestand now what you talking about. and yes, I set my download manager to have maybe 5 or 10 connections on server. Again, sorry to bother you. I am downloading right now using browser one at time parts and it is great.

No problems. It is more people don't understand what download accelerators do in general to servers and if we allowed them then you simply wouldn't even be able to start the download as the servers connections would be totally saturated by other people. We don't want that, we'd like people to have a fair chance of grabbing the download. Afraid it does cost quite a bit of money and time to have such a system in place hence the limitations. Else, hopefully you grabbed the mod successfully and are enjoying it :)

Hi guys, I'm confused. I've tried using the latest non-beta of 7zip to no avail. Is this a case of trying my luck with a re-download?

You're probably sending out too many download requests. The free download server can only handle two download threads at once. Just be sure to be patient and when a popup comes up, click away and try again. Alternatively, the paid download is really just a few euro cents, and no hassle at all.
