Hello. I downloaded till part 6 and the trailer pack mod and I can't get the 7th part. It says I have 2 active downloads even tough I don't.
Try refreshing the page and downloading the 7th part. Restart your browser if you still have issues.

Just take a break for an hour (do not re-attempt) and you'll be fine after that. Try another browser. The download servers are pushing a tonne of traffic at the moment without any issues.

C'mon guys, this blocking method is not funny. I have been working whole day and cant wait to come home to download new map and play it. Now after downloading first part I have been blocked for a few hours. A few Hours? And I always donate to you guys after every release because you do a great work with your map. But this is something that you do not need, neither do I. Thanks anyway...

Hi,

they have to do it, otherwise people would abuse the free download and the ProMods Server would crash.

Best regards,

As always the logs don't lie. I can see you're attempting to download multiple files from what appears to be a download accelerator at once and have been redirected to limit.html multiple times also. Please read the message saying "2 concurrent download at once" - whatever you're using or doing is sending a metric crap tonne of requests to our servers hence why it blocked you.

Give it a break for a hour, be patient and take it easy or pay for the download if you want it quickly. As you can see the servers are under a little bit of load so your patience and cooperation is appreciated.

This isn't a log checking service but can confirm you had multiple connections. Sometimes it may take a moment for your last connection to fully terminate before you're allowed another download slot. Like I always say, be patient please if you're using the free download service.

Hi, than something is wrong either with log reporting or a service itself, as from description it should allow two downloads, i started one, and couldn't even start second. after one was already finished. Sorry, but something is not working correctly here. I think I will end up like last time with premium download. I didn't have multiple connections. It was one after another. That's a huge difference. Please recheck if everything is working at your end correctly as it seems I'm not the only one.

Sorry guys, but it's hard to believe in this kind of reports. If thousands of users can download without problems and maybe 5-10 people have problems, then you can't blame the servers, only yourselves. I downloaded for free yesterday without any issues, so don't tell me I was just lucky, it was the same with 2.20 for me ;)
