Are you sure you are using the correct username to log in? Your username at LEX is Starmanw422007. Please try again with the password I sent you.

I shall refrain from further comment

Just curious about something: are the LEX downloads speed-limited? I'm trying to track down an internet connection problem, and this might hopefully sort out a few things.

I currently get a download speed of about 32kb/sec, whereas only a few days ago, I got download speeds of around 155kb/sec. Does the LEX get speed-limited to conserve bandwidth when it approaches its bandwidth limit?

BarbyW · August 22, 2007, 03:12:11 AM

As far as I know there is no speed limitation to conserve bandwidth. I have just downloaded at well over 100kps. You may have been unfortunate enough to be trying to download when work was being done on the LEX or it is your connection.

Shadow Assassin · August 23, 2007, 05:40:47 AM

It's definitely my connection. But what's odd is that when I download from an Australian server, it gives me my normal connection speed, but when downloading from an international server (eg. SC4D's LEX server), I only get around 30 or so kbps.

Could be the ISP cartel here having a secret deal with the bandwidth providers.

Okay, I just have to interject here and say that you are being INCREDIBLY ungrateful!

lol

I'm LUCKY if I get a constant 30kbps! On average I get between 3 - 35kbps. I have never had more than that in my entire life!

Bloody Africa...

Looking around a little bit, it seems it's a problem AT my ISP. But c'mon, I'm allowed at least a little ungratefulness - paying $70 a month for a 12GB quota (I go through about 4 or 5GB a month, tho) - it's all they're offering.

And I expect to get 1.5Mbits. That's what I'm paying through the nose for, and I expect it.

Pages loading is as normal, it's downloading that's b0rked.

M4346 · August 23, 2007, 05:54:55 AM

I have to hate you right now... lol. Excuse me while I go and do that.

Shadow Assassin · August 23, 2007, 05:56:18 AM

Hey, I'd get 24Mbits, but my area doesn't get it.

EDIT: 23:00 - Fixed the problem. I'm downloading normally at 155kb/sec. Yay!

Hi, I would like to express that I really appreciate all your efforts setting up SD4 and keeping it running.
I've got a few questions / suggestions concerning the SCD BSC LEX:
How can I change my password?
I cannot find a logout button, for safety reasons I always prefer to logout from restricted sites. Do I oversee the logout button or is there none?
It would be helpful for downloaders if the upload date would be included inside the boxes containing the summary information of an upload.

BarbyW · September 23, 2007, 02:24:48 AM

There isn't a Log out button but you can change your password in your Profile which is accessed from a button in the left sidebar. Passwords are encrypted so you are safe as I can't even see them. As for the upload date, that information is in the pop up for each upload as well as any update date.

Drevar · November 07, 2007, 06:01:54 PM

having a problem getting into the LEX. I was able to use it last night, but now clicking the various links from the main page takes me to the Register page. The account is registered, as attempting to re-register returns the TM error page saying the account name already exists. I had IE remember the password for me when I registered. Could that be the problem?

edit: Oddly I can get in if I go thorugh a direct link to a file. Trying to go in the "front door" results in asking me to register.

BarbyW · November 08, 2007, 12:37:16 AM

I checked your account and it should be K to use. The only thing I can suggest if the problem continues is to reset your password and send it via PM to you.

Drevar · November 09, 2007, 07:36:03 AM

All sorted out. Cleared my password list and was able to go in normally.

Thanks.

Dear sirs and madams,

Oh, so formal for me...

I think many of you know who I am. I've been awfully busy and haven't had much time to spend around here, sadly... But that will change.

Anyway, I've registered on the BSC file exchange. That was several months ago. I never received a confirmation e-mail for that. If there's anyone who can rectify that problem, I would be most appreciative.

Thanks for any and all forthcoming help.

RippleJet · November 20, 2007, 04:54:04 PM

Welcome aboard Ian! Good to see you here!

Unfortunately you will have to wait till the morning in Europe for either of the LEX admins, BarbyW or Callagrafx, to wake up...
Until then, enjoy your stay and what SC4Devotion has to offer!

Zelgadis · November 20, 2007, 04:57:50 PM

Dear sirs and madams,

Seems I posted this in the wrong place. Your helpful members have redirected me.
