As I mentioned, I'm not really complaining. I have the patience and realize that eventually the internet gods will let me get the file (Even if I do get mad when failed downloads count against the 24 hour download limit - lol). I have just seen a few different folks mention the issue and thought I could give some data to take a look at.

It's not a firewall issue. I got the files fine earlier today with no changes. Not sure what you mean by "Windows web browser". Are you referring to Internet Explorer? If you are I may just have to live with the issue. Nope. Hardwired.

As a side note, I was able to get the file this morning. Not sure what the issue may be.

I have been trying to get the Convair Model 201 Shipboard Fighter 1.0 from http://combatace.com/files/file/13080-convair-model-201-shipboard-fighter/. I ensure I am logged in.

In the past I have kept trying, and eventually I will be able to get the files. I have seen others mention this issue and I know your response is typically to try another browser, but I have done so with no change in outcome. If you would like any more information, please ask I thoroughly enjoy your site and don't want this post to be taken as a complaint. I just wanted to let you know it is not a browser issue. Please don't say flush your cache/cookies/history or toilet. I have tried all of those (as appropriate of course) with no change. I would seriously consider going to a paid membership, but I fear the frustration would out weigh the benefit.

Nice vid. Here's hoping you get the chance to do the radar guided version.
