Tried 3d Model World and I get a page saying I've been banned for using Download utilities...all I've got is EI5 and a 56k dial modem. LOL. Is it just me or have any of you experienced this? The contact link doesn't work on the banned page, how can I contact Lannie to get off the bad boy list I never should have been on? Obviously a problem in the software. Pinto

I just got somethiing similar when I tried to get there. I know they were updating the page and all and it might simply be in between stages.

check out the c&d forumn, the owner of the server got po'd and shut it down...look for a post by billywig or something of that nature

I'm unable to access the site right now, but I think we should all talk to Lannie about 3dModelWorld before jumping to conclusions.

I just went there and downloaded Bloodsong's Gems fine.

Seems there may be a view IP addresses banned due to a wildcard block, I've jsut let Lannie know about this. When I hear back I'll keep you guys informed.

few IPs, rather.... DOH!

Also keep in mind that most "dial up" services assign 'dynamic IP addressing'. This means that your particular ISP has a pool of IPs that they assign each time you log on. Your IP this connection will be someone else's at xxxx.com or xxx.net after you log off as well as the IP you currently are assigned was some else's before you logged on. Now for the "stiky" part - if someone else on your ISP also visits the same site(s) as you and abuses the server while he/she is carrying that particular IP then you are now on the same "bad-boy list". Three things to do. 1) Log off and back on a few minutes latter and try again. 2) Contact your ISP and beg for them to contact the site owner.....but don't hold your breath. 3) POLITLY approch the web site owner and discuss it with them. Most important! Be polite, be patiant. Life is rough...but you will 'catch more flies with honey than with viniger'.

Actually, it seems this is not an isolated problem, as I have a static IP... Mine and mine alone.... and haven't even been to the site in some time... certainly never used a Download Daemon with it.

What are these ever so illegal Download Daemons or DOwnload Utilities?

DraX ( ) posted Tue, 24 April 2001 at 1:45 PM

I just got a reply from Lannie... seems they are doing some maintainence to the site and working on the script itself. It was confirmed however, that I definately should not have been getting the blocked IP message. The issues should be handled shortly.

DraX ( ) posted Tue, 24 April 2001 at 1:45 PM

Download Accelerator, Real Download, GetRight, GoZilla, to name a few.

Seems to have been handled effectively now... let me know if you guys have any more problems, and i'll forward your complaints to lannie.
