okay, so this has been happening to me all day.
I'm in the middle of a building craze, and am trying to get items off the DLS that i need for this route. so i opened up CM2 to download something, but every time i tried, it gave that annoying "the download server appears to be full" message. okay, so i'll just wait and come back. i worked on another area of the layout for a while, came back, and...zilch. zip, zero, nada. CM2 still gave me the "Server Full" message. so i went in to the DLS to try and download the object i needed through the FTP server (which i have to do if i want something directly off the DLS anyway because it stopped allowing me to use the "download" button months ago). It's annoying, yes, but i've learned to live with it. Problem was, the Server kept locking me out and telling me i had to input my username and password. did it three times, finally made it work. But when i tried to go back for another object i needed (i figured i might as well get it while i was there) it locked me out entirely, saying "download link unavailable" on the download page. now i'm locked out of both, and that was hours ago.
Here's where this story gets irritating. the Download Helper finally started working after hours of waiting and i downloaded what i needed. then when the download stopped, i added a couple more things to it. guess what happened next; yup, you guessed it, "Download Server Full." So it was back to the DLS and the FTP server, but, wouldn't ya know, the password/username thing came up and this time i couldn't clear it. So once again i'm locked out of both ways to download.
Is there something wrong with the DLS today, or is this whole escapade just major SNAFU on my part? I only run TS2009 but my old serial number for TRS2006 is still registered. I highly doubt that contributes any, but with the cutoff of all support for versions older than TC1, i'm just covering my bases. Also, i don't have an FCT, which i think contributes more to this chaos. as i said earlier i've been locked out of using the direct "download" button on the DLS since July, and this problem has slowly been getting worse since then. I've gotten "download unavailable" messages in the download page, but they usually clear in a minute or two. now that time is increasing. Now it seems the DLS is locking me out entirely. I'm at my wits end with this, and still have no idea what's gone wrong. Does anybody have any ideas?
