I'm new here and just trying to figure out the setup. I went to the downloads section and started to download a few files. That's a really impressive download section and I have time even though I'm on slow dialup. After downloading 5 files it seems to have cut me off. It doesn't tell me that but the re-direct stopped working. I've looked, unsuccessfully for rules or guidelines for downloading. Any help?
Thanks

There is no "limit" on how much you can download. However, there is a 60 second time limit between downloads. So you might be able to only download one file at a time, wait 60 seconds, download again.

The 60 second limit between downloads is to stop someone from overloading the server with download request.

Is there a certain file that is giving you problems? We might have a broken link or two.

Problem solved (I think). I use "Free Download Manager" to handle my downloads and I put several files in que. It downloaded a couple of them before the problem started and then began to reject everything. I shut down FDM and started it back up and it's now downloading a file that it had rejected. My guess is that the 60 second thing doesn't work well with download managers and files in que. I'll adjust my habits. Thanks for your help.

I love Back Woods Home. I have to reup my subscription since it has lapsed, but being unemployed sucks...
