    It took me 8 hours to download only Upright Bass Cab 1 and now i can't even open it ... What do you preconise ? Is there still downloads time problems ? How can i open the files i've just downloaded ? A bit confused ... I have the feeling it's going to take me one week to download ... i can't even open ... Am under Mac G5 Bipro 1.8 G.hertz OSX 10.4.11 and i use firefox. I have a 16 gigas internet connection. Thanxs for your help ! Olivier aka OB.one French Composer

    Hi Olivier,  

    France Telecom seems to be the bottle neck, have also a look at this topic:

    http://community.vsl.co.at/forums/t/17534.aspx 

    You don't have to open a singel cab file.

    You have to download all cabfiles (and the zipfile) and then run your library installer.

    It's more or less the same as you install any of our DVD collections.

    The only difference is, that the datas are not stored on a DVD, they are placed in a folder on your computer (where you have placed the downloade files).

    best

    Thanxs a lot Herb for the info. Perhaps also Sunday is the worst day to download "Sounds of Vienna" ! But am working on a new track using an upright bass so couldn't resist and bought it today ! At the moment the time to download cab.2 is between 4 and 6 hours ... Will keep you posted about when it's be finished ... Hope not in a week ! ... Best Olivier aka OB.one

    looking at the routing tables it seems the backbone of opentransit.net between frankfurt and paris (193.251.x.y and 193.253.x.y) has some problem either with traffic, hardware or routing - the response times are increasing there form ~10 ms to ~120 ms

    you could traceroute vsl.co.at in the other direction to confirm

    Hello Christian and thanxs for your message. I think the traffic was blocked yesterday all the day. Here the figures : from 10 AM to 10 PM it took 4 to 6 hours to download a 190 Megas cab file. After 10 PM it took me 15 to 17 minutes to download the 190 megas ! ... For me all is ok, and am very happpy of this new intrument, it's not virtual : it's REAL :) I've just made a try for you this morning and it's ok : 17 minutes to download 190 megas here in Paris.

    thanks for letting us know... btw. my respective posts were not meant to blame some provider but just to explain possible reasons.

     

    the internet is sometimes comparable to high capacity roads - if an accident happens you can be caught for hours on a highway.

    also the backbone providers are sometimes forced to use *dirty tricks* to avoid problems with mass spam or DOS (distributed denial of service attacks) from bot-nets .... latest statistics assume there are 14 mio bots (or zombies) out there grouped in nets up to 1.4 mio clients.

     

    if such a bot-net starts to flood certain routes, servers or transition points providers have to instantly react with countermeasures and it can take a while until everything returns to *normal*
