I'm showing you still have about 10mb left. What is the error message you're getting?


Since it's apparent that you missed the purpose of my post, let me ask you a question.  Are you making a point here that if there's any download capacity on the meter at all, then you're not going to reset once a week as promised?

Last week, like every other newbie here I had to come and ask you set my account so that I could download something after it was apparent that it wasn't going to happen on it's own..  The account was set for 20 /200.  I downloaded 4 comics and used 120 megs for those 4.  That left me 80 megs for the week before I would be due to have account reset.  I came back Sunday night only to discover that the site was down. 

I came back last night agian.  I still had only 80 megs, meaning my account was not reset on Mon as it was supposed to be, instead of the 200 that should have been there.  I downloaded 3 additional comics with the 80 megs that were left leaving 9 megs in the account.  Had the site been available on Sun the account would have ended with 9 megs then instead of last night. 

Since the reset was not done on Monday, I asked that it be done last night and after checking a few minutes ago, I see that my request was denied because based on your response that I wasn't due for reset since I still had 9 megs on the account.  If this is going to be the attitude of those of you running this site, then don't bother resetting it period.  I'm not some little kid who's going to crawl in here every week on my knees and beg the powers that be to PLEASE reset my account so that I can download 5-10 comics.  There are numerous other places offering the same exact stuff you are and they don't make new members jump thorough hoops to get table scraps from the lords of the manor.

It's obvious what's going on here.  You place extreme limitaions on new members and force them to beg for renewal each week all the while dropping little hints in many of the threads that if we donate to the site and get VIP status we won't have to go through this every week.  I belong to 13 different forums and I have VIP status in 3 of them.  I donated voluntarilly because I use those sites a lot.  The others I don't.  Depending on how much I might have used this forum, I would have proabaly donated down the road, however I'm not going to be forced into donation by these games you're playing here.  I have no desire at all to become a member here and I suspect a lot of others won't either once the word gets out that their are alternate fourms to this one offering the exact same comics without all the bullshit.

Astaldo merely asked you a question, which would help him figure out ultimately how to help you. You are not a child, and no one is disrespecting you by treating you like a child.

How can any of the mods help you if you go off about issues that they may have no control over, especially if you go off without giving them feedback that can help solve the problems you are experiencing in downloading?  ???

I truly appreciate your immature, snide comment to a simple question. Thanks! Having little children like yourself beg for anything is not how I wish to spend my time. Things are changing here rapidly and I have to constantly check several posts to see what the weekly/monthly limits are for newbies. If you want to go to another site, that's your prerogative. I for one, will shed no tears to see you leave.

Goodbye laser. It was a question by Astaldo to help you out. It is a heck of a lot of WORK for the mods to do the resetting and we get NO money ever. So your attitude for the tremendous amount of work poor Astaldo does for everyone here in not appreciated. You owe him an apology PERIOD.

Astaldo,

I think what happened was that because the download site was down, that auto-resets skipped period. The site is going through a rapidly changing dynamic, and software doesn't "think" software just does -- the site was down, the software didn't even think about it and skipped a week.

Don't let negativity and miscommunication get to you, Astaldo, you and Narf are above and beyond in caliber and quality.

I know, boox. I'm getting frustrated because it seems each time I log on the limits change. I feel like I'm constantly trying to catch up.

Hello,

My name is Paul and my username is paulpicks11.
I made a donation of $20.00 (USA currency) using Paypal on March 28. The donation was made to: donate@goldenagecomics.co.uk.  Paypal says the transaction for the donation was "completed".  However my bandwidth allowance is indicated as "0" and that is causing me to be blocked from doing any downloads.  Can anyone help me??
Thanks.

Hi.  I haven't been on for a few months, but haven't been able to download anything even when I am logged in.  I know you've been doing reconfiguring and modifying, etc., but suspect my bandwidth limits weren't setup since I haven't been here for a while.  My name is the same as here on the message board. Here is what my user_cp says:

Reset limits is off. When either of your limits reach zero you will not be allowed to download any more files.
Remaining bandwidth:    0 B remaining
Bandwidth time remaining:    0 Days, 0 Hours, 0 Minutes
Files remaining:    0 files remaining
Files time remaining:    0 Days, 0 Hours, 0 Minutes

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

I gave you your monthly allowance. That should solve the problem if THAT is the error message you're getting. Otherwise, please let us know what the error message is.

First off, I am apologize to you over the problems that you are having.

The root of your problem is that you have a "!" in your name. The download site does not recognize the "!", can you try logging in without the "!" -- if that works, post here to let us know and we will get your bandwidth going in double quick time.

I'm a long-time member that didn't have internet service for about a year and cannot download anything. Please let me download and read some comics again. Please Help! Would be greatly appreciated.




Now it is my turn - not so much a band width trouble - but just not being allowed to download anything.

Signed up last night because of the changes for free leeching :-)  and now get Error: Sorry but you do not have permission to view this page. Contact the admin if you think you should have access to this page.. If you believe this to be in error, please quote the above error and report this to the admin


Every download link I checked.

Anything I can do or am I pretty much SOL with this site?


You signed up last night? I think it sometimes takes 24 hours for everything to kick in. Don't stress, I bet you are downloading by tonight!
