Website gives 206 error downloading Xlights.
« on: February 17, 2018, 03:27:08 PM »
Tested from multiple clients (Linux and Windows) and multiple ISPs.   I'm guessing it is a server issue.

--2018-02-17 17:24:54--  (try:17)  https://xlights.org/downloads/xLights64_2018_05.exe
Connecting to xlights.org (xlights.org)|67.222.33.247|:443... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 206 Partial Content
Retrying.

Note: 32-bit works fine, so it appears to be limited to the 64-bit file.

Works fine for me, but I'm possibly hitting a different host server.

Guess I just don't have good luck.   Tried to download from VMs in Nevada, New Jersey, Chicago, and my home server in Ohio.   None of these allowed me to download the 64-bit installer file.

You didn't mention trying multiple browsers.

Gil makes a good point.  How are you pulling it?

Well.   I tried Chrome and wget (as shown above) yesterday.   Both had the problem.

Repeated again today and it is working  (with both Chrome and wget as well as on multiple remote servers).    Whatever the problem was, it is gone now....
