Using the download station

[Villaman]

Hello,
We are first time users and trying to download a train from the download station, but the download helper says that it is unable to download as the server appears to be full. Could someone help us?

Sorry to tell you, but the free server has been "busy" since December and the server is often full.

Many people have suggested purchasing FCT's as that server is a lot faster.

Although if you persevere, or try at goodness knows what hour at night, you might just get through.

FCT

I suggest you buy an FCT. I know it's a bit of an extra cost but getting one works wonders with downloading assets. I get on 99.9% of the time with mine and shall certainly be renewing when the time comes.
Of all the things available in Trainz and FCT must be a priority....

The DLS is run much like many file download services like Rapidshare and Megaupload; you get free service, but you have to accept limited download slots and download speeds.

Thanks

Many thanks for these replies folks, your taking the time is very much appreciated. I think we may well be purchasing that first class ticket!
