Broken Download Links.

[thewizard99]

So im trying to download a few covers and i keep getting this random message. It like the link isnt grabbing whats its meant to. Tried it on a bunch of different covers ( started on # on N64 and all 3 games in there have the issue ) ~

<Error>

</Error>

Im logged in on the forum while doing this, and other covers work.

Thanks

Chris

Hey thewizard99, I can't seem to replicate your issue.

Nintendo 64 ->
# ->
007: Goldeneye (see GoldenEye 007) -> Download

If you can get to the Nintendo 64 Game Covers > # page and into a specific game, you can

Right click the picture (on the right),
Open Image in New Tab (https://coverproject.sfo2.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/nintendo_64/label_n64_007goldeneye_eu_thumb.jpg)
Remove _thumb in the url (https://coverproject.sfo2.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/nintendo_64/label_n64_007goldeneye_eu.jpg)

That should work for the time being?

Both options are working for me

Those seem to be working for me on Goldeneye, but 007 The World is Not Enough and 1080 Snowboarding both have broken links for me.

World is Not Enough - Retail Cover and PAL AUZ Cover - Image isnt showing when you click on it, and download gives the same error
1080 Snowboarding - Custom Cover Alternative and EU Cover - Image isnt showing when you click on it, and download gives the same error.

Tried this on a Hotel Wifi and my Phones Wifi, and both are getting the same problem.

I can confirm the same issues on my end as well.

These links are not broken, they are dead.  Looks like someone did some cleanup, but how the site is managed, the old links cannot be removed. Added them to the master thread of problems to be fixed.

Attempting to download the covers for the SNES game "Adventures of TinTin: Prisoners of the Sun" gives a 404 error.

These covers have been uploaded only recently and are most likely not yet approved by the admins. That is why you cannot download them, yet.

Nope it’s approved.  I think the upload must have failed.  We’re having quite a few instances of this happening since the new uploaded went live.

FWIW, I think those 404s have something to do with the length of the title of the games. I've noticed that the longer games usually lead to 404s and these 404s are scattered. If it was an uploading issue, I think they'd be grouped together by user.

Ok, then we can rule that out.
I thought it might be the approval process, because there is also the word "pending" in the download link.

You might be on to something there.
I checked some of the PS3 covers I uploaded over the weekend and it seems that only covers with a longer title (above 30 characters?) are affected.

The download link for US Version of Game and Watch collection on DS is resulting in a 404 error.

Thank you!

I think we're kind of SOL on these until Snowcone pops back in to fix them
