Can't Download Skyward Sword

Hi Loonylion, Seph,

I'm glad that you remembered to post the updates to this thread. Thanks. I've been checking it every one-two weeks since your last post, so I was very excited to find out today that you changed providers.

Sadly, the very same thing keeps happening. Skyward Sword fails at 123 MB every time. I was so ready to subscribe for 6 months, but sadly it still doesn't work. Do you have an idea of what might be still going on?

One clumsy (and lousy) workaround that I've found and I'm currently trying is using the ZenMate extension for Chrome. You might know it, it creates a VPN for a certain tab and routes traffic to a third party server. Since you commented that the original problem would be located on a node between your provider and my end ISP, I thought that it might would work. And so far it seems to be working; at least is passed the dreaded barrier of the 123 MB error!

But it's certainly not the best (or acceptable) solution, for many reasons. First, because I think I'm violating their policies by downloading huge chunk of data through it (4 GB for Skyward Sword for example). And the other thing is that, since it's a VPN, the download speed is sluggishly slow.

I'll let you know if it finally downloads (1 day left to go it says right now... ), but please let me know if it would ever be possible to fix the root of the problem and directly download from your servers; hence being able to fully commit and subscribe.

Thanks again for your work and support.

 

No Loony, is the same as usual. It's stuck at 123 MB all the time; no matter how many times I try to download or resume, it doesn't move.

By the way, the ZenMate solution worked, I was able to download the file through them, but it's certainly not factible to do so. Took a couple of days and they'll probably ban me soon for downloading that huge amount of data.

I'm sorry to say that moving to the new server did absolutely nothing to fix my issue.

Any other ideas?

Thanks again.

 

Hi Loony, I've tried several download managers, like FreeDownloadManager and it always halt at 123 MB. Please, believe me that the problem it's not from my ISP; the only site where I've ever experienced this is here.

I use several VPNs, Torrent protocol, etc. without any problem and the ISP doesn't interfere. It only happens with certain files from your servers, like Skyward Sword.

 

Hi Prectorian, thanks for your reply.

As Loony and Seph said back ago when I posted this thread, it only happens to some people because of the way the traffic has to route to them. Some thing with the file server or something.

I'm not in the US (by the way), but you could check my previous screenshots where it always crashes at 123 MB.

 

Great; please let me know when ready and I'll go on with it.

Thanks.
