This is awful
« on: August 26, 2009, 07:27:56 PM »
I bought a new fast 64 bit computer in part to help me download maps faster and run multiple programs simultaneously. It is on Vista. 

I keep getting "difficulty contacting servers messages even though I have enabled firewall acess. I don't think I use a proxy server = nothing else has asked for that and everything else is screaming fast I have zero problems watching tv and movies without discernable buffering - much faster than on my old slow xp computer.  I am at a loss. It keeps disabling downloading on me. I cannot download much of anything making the program worthless

What the heck is going on?

Hi,

It looks like Terraserver is having issues right now.  Sorry it coincided with your new computer.  I noticed I was having issues a couple hours ago and was about to post about it.

Thanks for the patience.

It was working better this am. Surprisingly not much faster than my old computer so I gather the terraserver servers are the bottleneck. 

Ah well I had to get another computer anyway because it was on my work computer and I knew that could not be a permanent solution.
