I have been trying to download the files now for 6 hours. This is not the first time I have run into this problem. Seems to happen each time I try to update. Last time was about a month ago. I get the error that the connection was refused by the server - happens repeatedly until magically it goes away after a VERY VERY VERY long time.
There is a moderator's post which seems to indicate this is standard operating procedure.
I cannot honestly think of any reason to keep the files there unless the repeated attempts by users to download the files is simply generating a lot of ad revenue for the open source makers. Meanwhile users still don't have access to files.
This is very frustrating. You should not have to make attempts 3-4 hours apart simply to find when the servers are up and running.
There needs to be an alternative method to download the files, or the hosting site needs to be changed. There are many different alternatives to chose from: Adfly, Dropbox, Curse Gaming, etc.
Please consider this request to provide some alternative. By the fact there is a mod post about this issue indicates I am not the only one who would appreciate this change. I would also like to know if Paetron's also experience this download problem?
Thank you
