kmead Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 Sorry Matt, but the links still state the specified server cannot be found for Macs. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxx Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 Hi, - I tried downloading with SpeedDownload, it does not work. - However, I switched to ICAB, using the DOWNLOAD Manager, and with the URL of ftp://ftp.battlefront.com/pub/demos/cmbb/mac/english/CMBB%20Demo.sit.bin. It is download slowly cheers! laxx ----------- decision#1 three more hours before download completes should i break fast or should i wait suspense is killing me decision #2 buy a new mac for CMBB or wear out the minimum specs Mac ? How about a PC just for Games ? But I'd already bought a PS2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmead Posted September 1, 2002 Author Share Posted September 1, 2002 Thanks, but all I get is specified server could not be found. Thanks all the same. This is true of all three Mac download server links. Thanks This is with Explorer 5.1.4. I opened with Netscape 4.7 and it started downloading. currently it is moving at 831bytes per second (thats bytes, not kilobytes ) [ August 31, 2002, 08:44 PM: Message edited by: kmead ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 Kmead, I just tested the links and they are working fine on my end. English Mac Version Link http://www.battlefront.com/cgi-bin/counter/down.pl?ID=14 German Mac Version Link http://www.battlefront.com/cgi-bin/counter/down.pl?ID=15 French Mac Version Link http://www.battlefront.com/cgi-bin/counter/down.pl?ID=16 Madmatt p.s. Please use those links above in order that we can accurately count the downloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmead Posted September 1, 2002 Author Share Posted September 1, 2002 I restarted my Mac and reset my cable modem and router. Internet Explorer 5.1.4 (which is nearly as new as I can run under OS9.2.2) and the links you show here and the links on the page for the Mac demo download all return "The specified server cannot be found" If I am the only one experiencing this would others kindly speak up as I don't wish to waste Matt's time chasing an issue for one person. Thanks Matt. Have a great night and the bones look excellent. A wonderful job by the whole team. Big thumbs up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webs Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 I have a cable connection that runs close to T1 speeds. Here I got an initial burst at 56 kbps or so, but now it's slowed to a crawl. Are y'all governing download speeds? If so, why? The faster high-bandwidth downloaders get and go, the faster everybody gets their packets.

Madmatt Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 Kmead, I hate to say this but I have confirmation of the links working from other Mac users. Not sure what to say. Madmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmead Posted September 1, 2002 Author Share Posted September 1, 2002 Its likely a bandwidth availability issue with a potential of 10,000 people trying all at once to download it. WIth Netscape I have it downloading finally. MS IE won't see the server for some unknown reason. Now pray for no errors or other errata. Currently at 4.1% of the total downloaded.

kmead Posted September 1, 2002 Author Share Posted September 1, 2002 Matt, thanks very much for checking and verifying that it works. I think its some bizarre problem with IE. I will see if I can work it out from this end. As I stated above I am having some success with Netscape which means the links are operable, even for me. Again thanks for your very speedy responses.

karch Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 Downloading fine with IE 5.2 on OSX. Hey, at least the download works in OSX!!! Getting about 30k / sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naja Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 After trying the mac link for 5 min I finally have it started..... Wow! using Anarchie (ftp program) I am getting max 5k download speeds... and the mirror site on Combat Mission HQ is Windoze only... too bad.

karch Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 finished the download... you guys can have my bandwidth now. I found that if I brought the download manager up to the front and didn't touch anything, I could get speeds as high as 70k. Something to try.

Gyrene Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 Argie, go get Speed Download from Versiontracker.com, it makes a huge difference. Gyrene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmead Posted September 1, 2002 Author Share Posted September 1, 2002 Only 8 minutes of download to go. Then we'll see if it will run at all on a iMac. Lets see, started the download at 8:30 or so and will finish at 1:02 am. That is the slowest dnld I have enjoyed since I got my cable modem. At least I almost have it.
