[Central] Free download questions

[Paul2209]

Ich habe die erste Datei runtergeladen,erstellt,aber weiter geht es nicht.

Translation: I downloaded the first file, created it, but it does not continue.

It isn't "2 downloads" - it is "2 connections". If you're using 2 connections for a download and getting ~400kb/sec then you won't be allowed to download another file. Not a bug, working as I designed it. This also will not work from either shared connections, CG-NAT connections or Mobile connections since your IP address is shared with multiple people. This is a known limitation, you can try getting a download slot a few times a minute without getting banned in this case hoping a slot for your IP clears up or use our paid option.

Note, this is downloading directly from us - not a third party.

It looks like you're using a CG-NAT connection (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT) which basically means that your IP address is shared by multiple people. It appears that somebody on your IP is already downloading the files and thus your connections, based on your IP are already being maxed out.

Not a bug, this is working as designed but afraid there is no reliable solution for this. You can attempt to try and download later hoping that person has downloaded all parts of the file else use our paid option.

It looks like your browser or an addon is preloading the URL's - try either Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge please (after fully closing FIrefox).

Hey everyone,

So, basically.. I was going to download the new update, using the Free Download Servers, since I'm in no rush.. I get to Download number 6 and 7, 6 finishes and 7 crashes. Well, let me just restart the download.

NOPE, I'm blocked from using the mirrors, because:

"You've sent too many requests to this service which has upset something, or somebody in this universe and now you're blocked for your actions."

Now I've got 6 files ready and number 7 is missing, guess I can't play the new update today.. What did I do wrong? Now I can't even download the last file, because I'm blocked out?
Why is there a free download mechanic, if you'll get blocked out anyways, I don't get it. It's just very frustrating waiting the whole time and then just being denied like that in the end.


Other post, moved from separate topic

I just got blocked from downloading too, I'm only missing one last part (Part 7)..
Even though I was downloading it all one by one, last download crashed and now I can't re-download it..
I got so excited to play.. (Server load is at 65%)

What caused it and how long do I need to wait now?

hi!

The site limits me to download one file at a time even though the message says the limits is 2 concurrent downloads.

It is not specifically "downloading 2 files" it is "2 connections" like I've said many times on here. Your browser may use multiple connections to download a single file.
