    Every time i tried to download i only got the .rar.html files (around 0.2 kb in size), it can't be extracted n can't be opened with any web browser... but sometimes i can managed to download the .rar, but now it doesn't seem to be working...

    any idea why this happens to me?

    1) You need to define "the game", we really do need to know what you're trying to download.
    2) We need to know which server you're downloading from. NA/Europe?
    3) We need to know how you download it, via your browser? A download manager?
    4) We need to know what the content of this file is, try renaming it to .txt and opening it.

    Once you've given us this info then we can help you.

    1. umm it's kinda random, mostly all the old games (i tried to download some yu-gi-oh, every now n then it works but now it doesn't)

    2. i've tried both, no difference at all...

    3. i download directly from my browser, i've tried em in Safari n Firefox

    4. this is what showed up if i double click on em (not extract), opened it from notepad

    <html>
    <head><title>503 Service Temporarily Unavailable</title></head>

    </body>
    </html>

    oh and thx for the quick reply :)...

    It sounds like you're behind a proxy and someone else is downloading, this makes our software think you're already downloading a file and thus it denies it.

    We'll put up a nicer page for it but there's sadly nothing we can do about the download not starting since we don't allow free users more than 1 connection per IP, and if your ISP group a lot of people behind the same IP then there's not much chance of downloading from us sadly. =/

    You redownload it, and please don't hijack other threads, you already created one thread about the issue.

    They aren't necessarily in your house. They could be another customer of your ISP. You just have to keep trying at different times, or try one of our other servers.
