"DOWNLOAD HELPER" ???
- Thread starter JAMEZ001

Download Helper is not a download, as a matter-of-fact, it's what downloads addons for you. It's best you open up CMP before you click Download. FTP is the hard way to get an addon, and most users never use it. To open CMP (Content Manager Plus), you do it like this:
Click TRS2006 icon. Click Manage Content.
Note: This only works if you have TRS2006.

Moojgoo I think that answer was sillier than the question... Firstly you're assuming Jamez001 is using TRS2006 - he might not be. Secondly if he IS using it then the download helper link on the DLS should open CMP, in which case something is wrong and therefore the question isn't silly at all...
Jamez which version of TRS are you using?

The Download Helper (or DLH as its known here) is a tool, where it downloads stuff for you from the Trainz's download station (or DLS as its known here) into the correct folders on your PC and does it so that it make the content 'ready-to-run' (i.e. load up Trainz and use it). In TRS2004 SP1 and previous versions of Trainz, you have to get this separatly from the main downloads section (not the DLS). For TRS2004 SP2 and upwards, the DLH came with the package.
If you already have this DLH or downloaded it, your next step is to register your Trainz package with Planet Auran and make sure all your info (user and pass) into the options of the DLH and check your firewall settings. Then if you think all is set up, try and download something simple like a texture or a building. If not all is going to plan, I suggest get in touch with Auran Helpdesk to see if they can help you.
If you cannot connect, its probably Auran is updating their site and DLS, so try and download at a different time.

I'm running; TRAINZ, Ver. 1.3 (Build 277).
I have registered my serial and all that too.
So, am I still able to use 'Download Helper'?
EDIT: I just did what you guys told me. But now I get this error:

Download Helper does work for your version of Trainz. It only works on UTC and TRS2004. There is also this thread that talks about your version of Trainz and what program to use to download from the DLS.

Could the problem be caused by the withdrawal in September of support for 2004 and 2006?

I can't understand why you are trying to use Ver. 1.3, when your post heading shows you also have TRS2004 & TRS2006
Even though Auran no longer supports 2004 or 2006, the Download Helper still works as normal for both versions,.

i have utc can you help me with the dls??
What about the DLS do you need help with?
As a note, if you do not have a First Class Ticket (FCT), then you can not access the DLS any more. :n:Regards.

i need help with this DLH thing, is it included with trainz classics 2.7 or do i have to download it sepreatly?
I've never heard of Trainz classics 2.7
There was Trainz classics 1,2 and 3 and I believe they all had content manager thus negating the need of download helper.
Now if you're using it with 2004 or UTC you would go into the download station website, and just click on the download helper link and it does the rest, it's not so much a program that one can download as it is an interface that communicates between your browser and the game.

Go to the DLS, log in and search for something you want. For the item you want, open the Download Page, instead of clicking the "Download (Helper)" link. Then there are two choices, on to download with the helper, or the other to use FTP.
If you use the FTP, you simply download the CPD file and save it on your hard disc. You can then install it into Trainz. The only real drawback is if you have something that has a lot of dependencies - you have to download them all separately. However, if you are using Trainz 1.3 then that functionality probably wasn't included, since I don't think it had Content Manager...
Good luck

If you're using Firefox you need to either set it to "always ask" so you can browse for which version you want to install into, or set it by browsing to the one you use most.
