MdMax Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Where did you download the file ? FlightSim.com ? You can find much better links for mirrors or Torrent files on this page:http://www.alpilotx.net/downloads/x-plane-10-hd-scenery-mesh-v2/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w9nwrwi Posted December 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 I downloaded the file from flightSim.com with their paid membership option. My question is, are those files that I listed corrupt based on what I see file type?? Thank you for the link. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpilotx Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Yes, from what I see, you have some corrupted (half finished) downlaods ... effectively you can't use them. Either retry from flightsim.com or try the - in the meantime - other listed options on my download page! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w9nwrwi Posted December 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Well I tried, even with Flightsim.com First Class Membership, and the .AU site. I have about 20 hrs trying to get 1 area. On to other things, maybe try in 6 months.Pardon my tone, but its soooo aggravaing and I know absolutly nothing about torrent, but thats not your problem.I sincerly appreciate your options and a great looking product from the screen shots.

alpilotx Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 This sounds like as if you don't have a really stable internet connection .... if it is disrupted every now or then, that could easily lead to broken files. In this situation, the BitTorrent approach might help, which can easily take care of "half finished" files (it just continues where it was stopped) ... Just google a little bit about it, and you might find it as a viable option in your case. You - and others - might also read the official "press release" from flightsim.com about the download issues (they were / are completely overwhelmed):http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/content.php?14420-Slow-Downloads-Unprecedented-Demand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larjeet Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Are you signed into your flightsim.com account even if you have the paid membership you still have to be signed in I have downloaded 5 of them and the largest took no more than 10 minutes with the paid and would have taken about 12 hours with out the membership . It sounds like you where trying to download them all at once download them individually its faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w9nwrwi Posted December 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Larjeet, I will go back over there and try again. I was logged into flightsim.com. I started by selecting just one area, +40-90, and their download area showed just that area for download.I did not select the whole package, would not even know how to do that. If based on the amount of time (10 minutes in your case) for a download, maybe my paid membership is not taking. Well, like I said I will go back over and see what gives.My time said it would be around 8 hours just for the one +40-90. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
