   Currently the downloads are working ok for myself. Perhaps if there was a problem it has been fixed?

   I'm having the same problem today, and from the comments others are as well. I really did want this one, too. It seemed to take forever, then when I tried to unzip it all there was in the file was "Activate," which does nothing but direct me to this site. I went back and tried several times to redownload it, but keep getting the error message "We are sorry but node containing file '631270' is not active now. Please try again later."

   I'm with ValleyGirlPI, I have exactly the same message downloading through Wikifortio, and am just kicked out when I try downloading through the Mirror Link. Is there a known error, this has been ongoing for me for 2 hours now. I use FDM to download and I was 78% of the way through the download when it stopped. Since then, I tried to download using Firefox's download prog but can't even get that far.

   Can someone else try to download and post what happens please?

   I have just tried the screensaver download, and it is working fine with FDM.

   I see that we're not supposed to post tech problems in the comments section, but quite a few people have posted there that they are having similar problems. Perhaps when the problem's fixed we can have an extension on the time, so we can download?

   I had the same problem with wikifortio. I used the mirror link, had to do it twice tho, and got .scr to dl. Not sure if there's just a whole lot of people trying to get these, the net's experiencing a huge traffic jam or what exactly is going on. Good luck to you on dl'ing these in time.

   Hi ValleyGirlPI,

   are you getting more than 6 comments on the game download page? I am only getting 6 and there is only one person with the same complaint as us, yet you see several.... How many comments can you see, and is White Rabbit among them?

   Hello all. I tried to download the game, just for reference for you all, and I get the same error page from the main download link. I could not make a connection at all from the mirror link.

   So, I would say that for the time being, the net is foobared . It may have something to do with the horrendous ice storms here in the Central US. I know that my overall net connection speeds have been reduced by 50% since the storm hit...

   Thanks Freeware Fan, I thought us two were all alone in the world !!!! Don't like the sound of "horrendous ice storms" at all, glad I'm in New Zealand, just going into our summer. Today is hot but cloudy.

   Anyway, thank you for your answer, I will await the site's return with patience, not something I am known for. I really want Magic Ball 2 after 'hearing' White Rabbit 'talk' about it, although I guess it isn't the end of the world if I don't get it. I appreciate your post no end. Have a nice day/night, wrapped up warm hopefully, and inside in the dry.

    Oh yes, warm and dry here alright, thanks for the kind thoughts!

    Hopefully things will get sorted soon, and if not, I have the feeling that the GGAOTD site will make it right in the end. I've noticed in the near past that they did do a double offer on one occasion, so hang in there!

    Enjoy your summer weather!

    Just tried again, no dice. I am not able to access anything right now to see about WhiteRabit. Frankly the comments have greatly influenced me in the short time I've been a member. I've skipped several (most) downloads because of the comments. This one I really wanted to check out, but I am swiftly losing confidence between my security alerts and the problems I'm experiencing. The list seems to have a great basis, but jeez....

    well, I tried several times yesterday when there was about 7 hrs left but no dice. Now I've missed it! I hope they offer it again or something.....I feel ripped, even though it is free. I love magic ball 1 and was so excited to see 2 offered.

    Does anyone know if they'll offer it again?
