New Release Downloads Repeatedly Failing

[Lycanthrokeith]

Hello.

I've been having problems with several recent new releases downloading very slowly, and failing after about 1/4 through the process.

While some have succeeded after several attempts (Flux # 3), others are failing no matter what. The main problematic ones are GamePro #144, Expert Gamer #58, and Game Player's Sega Genesis Strategy Guide V 2 # 1.

I am using Windows 10, 8 MB ram. Firefox 66. I have cleared site data, reduced numbers of tabs, closed other online apps, and even tried Chrome (also failed). Up until now, I have never had a downloading issue with Retromags.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hmm...I'm also Win10 8GB RAM,  Firefox 67 and about a million open tabs (Okay, I just counted - 47 open tabs).  I just now downloaded all three files you mentioned with no trouble.  As for speeds, I got between 7-12 MB/s depending on the file.

I wonder if your ISP is throttling you for some reason?

The Download Manager just redirects you guys to leech.retromags.com/base, do you get the same issues downloading from there?

Gave it a go, and no problems at all. Average of 1.8 M/sec, no fails. I won't question it.

Thanks for the help!
