IN fact it is stickied in both "feedback and support" and in "site and forum issues" (which are the obvious places to look) and a few other places...
- our search feature works too
-here is the meat of it
We use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) which automagically mirrors for us, and and auto-selects the closest / fastest server / mirror for you.
It is my guess that the problems are isolated to one (or a few) server clusters.
We have millions of downloads successful. I assume one post represents thousands or tens of thousands of users. That being true we have a small percentage of failures.
Please include your IP or Geographic region so we can lean on simple CDN.
Those of you needing an alternate download location:
The problem is isolated to certain servers, each providing service to a local region.
The workaround is then obvious.
Use a proxy that is not in your geographic region. you can Google for open proxies.
By using a proxy that is not close to you it will fool the CDN to supply the content from another server. (the CDN will think you are close to a different server cluster) Simple.
