The download system is stupid

I just bought a layout from themeforest and it charged me fine. It added it to my account fine. I try and download it, but the download fails. Now the site won’t let me try again, even though it is the same ip address attempting to download the same file within seconds.

This needs fixing, it is incredibly annoying and unnecessary.

I can understand restricting downloads of an item for various reasons including reducing the site’s bandwidth usage. But I can’t understand restricting something you purchase to one download attempt, when even to reach that you need to be logged in.

What if my internet cut out temporarily (as it does) while I was downloading it? I wouldn’t be to try again until tomorrow. What if the file I download is corrupt? I wouldn’t be able to try again until tomorrow.

My first experience of this site, not a great first impression.

Hello, Jami! After the first update Felis – Flexible & Multipurpose html/css template was allowed for sale with Provocateur WP inside. It just bought around 7 times WP theme for 15$ !!! Why do we need review system if no one checked the archive before sale?

After the second updates (Felis HTML and Provocateur WP) users can not download my last 2 items after the updates. Links to to files are dead, and indeed I myself can not download files.

I wrote at Support ([#184569]: Item or File Issues – fireform), but it is silence only.

Regards, Evgeny

So sorry you’re having issues downloading the file. We do have a limit on how many times you can download a file in a 24 hour period and it looks like you may have triggered that limit.

You mentioned that your internet was cutting out so maybe that’s the reason it kept logging multiple downloads from your account on the file. Do you have a more reliable connection for downloading by chance?

Looks like Virgin Media’s connections are going up and down constantly this second because of maintenance or something. Even now I’m having to use my phone’s internet.

Sorry for offtopic. Thanks, but Siddharth repaired links just a hour ago. And how about this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19196819/letter.jpg and some other letters? Thanks
