Johan,

I sent you a PM on this, can you get back with me. Thanks.

The Linux and Sparc demos have been pulled. We will have new ones up this morning.

For the whole evening, I've been trying to download the linux (Intel) demo, and the download keeps failing at somewhere between 30% and 80%. I've got the Windows demo OK, but still...

(For a time the file simply wouldn't start downloading, but since it seems to be back Online, I thought I'd try again...)

I tried to download it to and got the same behaviour

We could be getting hammered.

However how long did it go before the timeout? If your on a slow connection it may be our settings for keep alives on the web server. How long did it go (tota) in minutes before timing out. You might also want to try a download manager.

No, I've downloaded larger files before.

I'm on an ADSL line, and the Last two times I tried downloading the file, it stopped after about 58 MB, with a "cannot read the file" error. This is both with Mozilla under Linux, or Internet Explorer under Windows Me; the download speed varied between 30 KB/s and 62 KB/s, so it's clearly not a time issue since.

Has anybody managed to fully download the linux (x86) Version recently? I alone must account for almost 10 of these 200 downloads of it...

More precisely: I just tried downloading the linux (intel) demo, and here is how it failed (with the Mozilla downloader):

The download stopped with 58112KB downloaded, at 61.9KB/s and with 3:42 minutes supposedly left. I'm pretty sure that most of my download failures ended at the same 58112KB.
