Downloading the v2.0 patch.

Post by Ross Moorhouse »

Some of you and myself at times can't d/l anything from the Matrix Downloads page. David heath has checked into this and so have I and the reason is the number of people doing d/l. I have just checked and those files that I tried to d/l several hours ago that came up with server not found are now d/ling.

So its a matter of being there at the right time when there arent so many people doing d/ls.

Are there any plans to upgrade capacity for downloads and/or provide some method, such as a more reliable error message or even a download queue, to resolve this problem?

I personally had no troubles getting the V2 patch via the game updater the first time I tried, but then it was something like midnight in the USA at the time ;)

To those trying to deal with the problem:
- Use the matrix downloads page rather than the internal updater.
- Use a download assistant, such as getright [www.getright.com] so it can resume if broken.
- Schedule the download for late night/early morning in the US, which is likely to be where the bulk of the traffic to the server is comming from. If they are asleep, they typically aren't downloading ;)

All the best,

Yes David Heath has said that he is looking into other ways to d/l the files.
