    Hey, I've been using RomUlation.net for about 2-3 years and it worked fine until a few months back when I couldn't download anything from the website. It doesn't show the file size and when I click download, it says:

    Cannot download this file.
    Details:
    HTTP/1.1 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable.

    This has been happening for a few months. I thought it had to do something with the maintenance of the server, but it wasn't, I guess... Anyway, can anyone figure out why?

    Details:
    Mozilla Firefox
    Internet Download Manager (I've already tried downloading it without this and it still doesn't work)
    Wireless Network Connection (NETGEAR)
    NDS Roms
    Been using mirrors!

    I think 503 error means the download was denied because someone with the same IP was already downloading.

    Does the error happen on both the North American and European servers?

    503 does not mean points. It means someone with your IP is already downloading.

    i'm also experienced the same problem during my first visit to this website,and i can't download any roms or iso for 1-2 weeks after become a member..but after that, i can download any roms..
    i suggest you try different download manager...because,when i'm using Orbit Downloader,i can download roms and it is faster too!!

    So, it's just the download manger?

    I remember my router was the cause of that, Linksys. I ended up just upgrading and when I Swapped Routers problem was solved.
    Try rebooting your router completely.

    I don't really know... but I reset my IP Address and it worked. I tried it on 2 computers because both had the same problem. Success! That's about it
