Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/2009 Autodesk FIRSTbase Launched
Except the IE browser downloads for Inventor and 3dsMax are corrupted.
I can download Combustion... From Autodesk tech support: "...there is a problem with IE (and probably any other browser than Firefox). IE used to let you download files of this size. Now, IE has a 2 gigabyte limit on the file download size and returns a very cryptic "file not found" message instead of saying something obvious." Autodesk has changed the wording on the download page to warn users that only Firefox can be used for browser downloads. Using the Autodesk download tool probably avoids the problem altogether, however, Autodesk did warn me against using any third party download tools. Autodesk blocks 3rd party tool downloads. With Firefox I can now download 3dsMax, however the Inventor download chokes at 1GB (out of 3 GB). Anyone else have luck with the Inventor download? P.S. Got it to download at home where I have control over my firewall (although DSL took 12 hours). Both my work and school networks must have some setting that allows the 2.3GB download of 3dsMax, but not the 3.07GB Inventor download. The Inventor download would stop dead exactly at 1GB. The Autodesk download tool isn't allowed to work through either my work or school firewalls. Last edited by Mark McLeod : 12-11-2008 at 09:47. |
