What happened to Quaddicted?

[hgdagon]

The website won't load. Is everything fine or should we start panicking?

what part isn't loading? I mean, you made a post lol, this is why I ask. You've got some form of functionality it would seem....

Well, it's OK now.... But yesterday it was "the server at http://quaddicted.com is taking too long to respond" and for several hours it stayed the same...

on an unrelated note, every zip i download from them is either corrupted or incomplete in some way. i figure its on my end, but its still weird.

well that confirms that its on my end (and that mapjam4 was downloaded without any noticeable complaints). i really dont get why its just that site. could be my crappy wifi too.

I've had incomplete downloads from Quaddicted before, and Spirit has mentioned that some people have this issue. I don't think anyone yet knows why.

Reason might be that it is because nowadays everybody opens .zip files in a different way.
You have so many software (winrar, winzip, 7zip, ...).

In the earlier days there was only winzip LOL. That was easy.
But now you have to use version x.xx from tool "A" to be able to open format versions z.zz from tool "B".
Also, new compression methods in new software version are no longer backward compatible. And so on and so on.

What, you cannot open .docx format in 2015 ?
No, because I am still happy with word 2000.

I think the download issue is on Spirits end. I have failed downloads (whether directly from the site or through Quake Injector) about 50% of the time. It's always on larger files (30 MB or more) and the download is always cut off before completion.

I've mentioned it (with more detail) over at the Quaddicted forum but had no replies as yet.

It's a great site and a great endeavour. I really hope Spirit can get to the issue.

ok heres the breakdown


using windows explorer to open it, i get a message saying:



now, i usually use 7-zip. when i do that, typically, i get data error from one of the files in the zip.
