Download Issues

[Snowcone]

There have been a few issues recently regarding cover downloads. Some of you are having issues downloading covers and the problem seems to be isolated to a few covers and not all covers. I am looking into the issue and will let you know when the problem is fixed.

Update: I'm happy to report the issue has been cleared up. Our webhost made a change to the php settings that adversely affected the functionality of the download script. Everything should be better now.

This is for downloading any cover?

The uploaded file links were disabled intentionally... I think. I'll need to revisit why I did that.

Give me a bit and I'll pm you a link to visit for some debug info for me.

I'm still having major download issues. Whenever I click download, I'm sent back to the page I was just on. Any tips?

What browser etc are you using? The redirect is based in part on the referring url. The script does a check to see if you actually visited the page to dl the cover and prevents people from direct linking to the download cover link and leeching off the site. I am working on a better system for tracking dls without the problems the current script is generating.

Catch me on AIM if you want to do some testing.

Do you have a firewall or antivirus program that blocks downloads?

That's a good point, someone recently said their FW was blocking the forced download.
