Obviously I haven’t tried all the modules, but from a random selection, everything I’ve looked at has zero length and when you click the download link, it sends you to the upload page. This includes modules I’ve already downloaded successfully, like Risk and Illuminati. Am I doing something drastically wrong, or is there a problem with the site? ---

Thus spake truant: > Obviously I haven’t tried all the modules, but from a random selection, > everything I’ve looked at has zero length and when you click the > download link, it sends you to the upload page. Every module is listed as having zero size because the part of the file template that lists file sizes doesn’t work right now. I’ve not had any problem downloading the modules I’ve tried just now. > This includes modules I’ve already downloaded successfully, like Risk > and Illuminati. Downloading Risk definitely works for me. – J. ---

I know I had some problems with modules when selecting the file itself (giving expected download time of 6-7 hours and I have 34mb download!). The download just didn’t appear to ever start properly… However, right-clicking on the link and “save target as” worked for me and the modules downloaded successfully (in good time too) ---

Thanks for the replies everyone, much appreciated. Odd though - Risk and Illuminati and Dune Adventure Game were definitely all failing for me when I posted, but the first two are fine, as are the other random links I’ve clicked on. I promise they were broken when I posted! 🙂 Dune Adventure Game is still definitely not working though. See [vassalengine.org/mediawiki/i … \_game.vmod](http://www.vassalengine.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Dune_adv_game.vmod) which isn’t correct. ---

That’s because there is no file to download if you see a red link on a wiki it usually means it is a link to something that does not yet exist -----Original Message----- From: [messages-bounces@vassalengine.org](mailto:messages-bounces@vassalengine.org) [[mailto:messages-bounces@vassalengine.org](mailto:messages-bounces@vassalengine.org)] On Behalf Of truant Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2011 4:19 PM To: [messages@vassalengine.org](mailto:messages@vassalengine.org) Subject: [messages] Edit: [Module General Discussion] Re: can’t download anymodules [This message has been edited.] Thanks for the replies everyone, much appreciated.

Oh, OK. Link looks purple to me because I’ve already clicked it a few times. Should there be a file there, and perhaps it went missing in the site move? ---

That’s my module, and it looks like it went missing when the site moved. It’s just as well, the old version could use a few updates. I will post a revised version soon.
