Not able to get to Adobe Studio Exchange

**Maggy** · 05-07-2005, 19:52

at http://share.studio.adobe.com

I've been trying on and off for about 10 days now.It takes for ever to get there.Then it takes forever to get to the section I want.Then it takes for ever to download what I want..

So I promise you this is not spamming but I really want to get to this site as it's a terrific resource of free stuff for anything Adobe..and there are some styles and actions I need to get since they got wiped by accident...

Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble connecting and navigating?

Can you post a couple of links to try?
It seems a little bit slow but not excessively, it could just be the proxies again. Have you tried a different proxy to see if yours is under-performing?

Oh not proxies again...

I find all the other sites I visit are ok for loading.It's just this particular site..Mind I suspect that the whole of the US is visiting the site.

No I haven't is the short answer.Can you suggest one I can try?

As for links well that was the main one.The search facility drops to nothing and goes on strike so I'm left with a painstaking page by page search which grinds slower and slower...

Quite often it can be luck of the draw lol. Is there any file that you are specifically trying to get from that site? If you post a link I'll see what the download speed is like at the moment, might help prove/ disprove wether it's a proxy issue again.

I think one file I'm trying to find is a style selection called Snapper's Gold.

I would visit in the morning (between 9 and 2pm) as the traffic should be significantly lower as a lot of the US users will be asleep hopefully

[img]Download Failed (1)[/img] a page by page search is slowly working..but the search facility just gives up.

And I bet that it will be on the last page...

Ahh got it...Now I've been trying to get this and another free Photoshop plugin for days...You are my lucky rabbits foot Paul...

Got it just fine thanks.

Oooh just had a sudden free up and got the ultra sharpen plugin I was after.This has to be the very best sharpen plug in I've ever seen and it's FREE.It's better than the photoshop sharpen filters.

Well it's been a little faster today.Mind it has taken much 'refreshing' on some pages but I've got around the site a lot better today...I gather everyone has been too busy with other isssues today.What I cannot possibly take a guess at.
