Missing content on DLS

[Nethog61]

I downloaded Davesnow's Ozark Valley Railroad for TS12‏ and updated all of the out-of-date resources except for the content below. When I try and download this in Content Manager the download bar proceeds to the end but never completes. I have tried it multiple times, tried doing CM database repairs etc, but Ultimately CM fails to download the content. This does not surprise me since CM is a very poorly coded application compared to download systems for the rest of the world (it is probably the worst IMHO), so I normally then turn to the web-based DLS. But SURPRISE the kuids are no-where to be found on DLS. Can anyone please tell me where to find these assets? I contacted the route developer but he was not able to tell me where to locate these either.

The KUID code 72938 belongs to Mcguirel. Since they are not on the DLS then I would say that they are payware and can only be obtained through the author's web site. However, Mcguirel is currently in dispute with Auran/N3V (see this thread ) so I do not know if the items you want will be available.

This is a constant problem with payware and content from 3rd party web sites. Route creators often include payware and 3rd party content, possibly without even realising it (as in your case), which leaves those who download the route the problem of locating it. Ideally, they should indicate that external content is in the route and provide information on where to obtain it.

Thanks pware I understand. Actually I would be happy to purchase professionally made content (especially routes complete with sessions) and am suprised Auran hasn't tapped into purchased content via content manager which benefit them and content providers. Seems like they are sitting on a gold mine and don't realize it!
