Download Problems
Check list to be able to download from TGA:
- LEFT click on "DOWNLOAD NOW!", do NOT right click and hit "save target as"
- Be sure your using Internet Explorer or Firefox, those are the only two browsers we know for sure work
- Disable Norton Antivirus/Firewall - Norton blocks the HTTP header information that we use to verify the source of our downloads
If you can't download from TGA its one problem with two possible sources. Your HTTP-Header information is being blocked - thats the problem.
Most likely you are either using Norton Anti-virus/Firewall or using a web browser other then Internet Explorer. You will need to temporarily disable Norton by right clicking on the icon that is in the bottom right corner of your screen. You can reenable it once the download has started.
If your using something other then IE we can not quarantee the download will work, it has only been tested with IE.
We use the HTTP-Header information to be able to determine if someone is coming from TGA or another website. We block all requests from other websites, thats why you have to link to the page, not the file. This keeps people from stealing our Bandwidth.
TGA costs ALOT of money to pay for hosting. We used 650 gigs just last month of bandwidth. We can't afford to let people hotlink off us. TGA is non-profit, in fact TGA has been loosing money ever since its inception (3 years ago). TGA Has payed for itself for two months in total. December 2004 and January 2005.
We hope this trend continues and if it does we will be hosting a Stunt Video Challenge once SA comes out on PC. The challange will come with a Cash prize, plus some Misc. TGA Stuff.
