Hey.
I downloaded 2.50 via the paid option on 28.08. When i wanted to unpack it, it gives me a error for "assets" file. Tried WinRar and also 7-zip. Both gave me the error for the same file. Should I ask for a refund and then buy it again?
Thanks in advance.

There was a temporary server disruption on the paid server, it was down for approximately 4 hours and has now been restored.
And for the other issue

Have you ensured you tried with the latest 7-zip? Older versions can sometimes not open LZMA32.
If you have, then it's possible the file got corrupted during download. This can happen on unstable connections, or possibly caused by anti-virus scanning the file whilst downloading.
Can you try to re-use the paid link and download again if it allows you?

Thank you for replying so fast. Yes, I tried with the latest 7-zip. Also tried to unpack it with the ant-virus and firewall off put still the same problem.
The paid link is expired unfortunately.

How fast are the fast downloads meant to be?

I used the paid option for the main file, and the slow option for the add-on files, and the add-ons via the free/slow server are downloading at a faster speed than the supposed fast server!

109KB/s at this moment for the "fast" download, with the 2 "slow" ones at 175KB/s.

I know it's only one euro and I'm not bothered about the money, but it's not exactly what I expected. With the speed of my connection, I should be able to download at over 4MB/s.

Here's a screenshot of the current speeds. Note the discrepancy between what is supposed to be the slow and fast downloads:

It depends on your internet connection to the payloadz servers. I can download the paid variant with my full connection speed.

Doesn't really help me though. This is not utilising anywhere near the full capability of my connection:

In rare situations (probably like yours) there could be a (temporary) routing issue between Amazon S3 and your network. Usually has to do with peering connectivity.

All paid downloads are hosted on Amazon S3 and so the speed of it is totally outside of our control. Personally I download from the paid server with more than 10MB/s
