Title: Exceeding downloads for NAM- my access denied?
Post by: maxxmatt on June 15, 2009, 06:50:47 PM
Hello
I just got a new computer, third one in two years. I am trying to download latest NAM again but when I attempt to hit download button, I get the perplexed gorilla and words below say that NAM has exceeded its download limit? Is this my problem of the site's problem? Do I need to send more money to get access? The counter says that I downloaded 14 times. I know that must be alot but that is because I kept having to install and uninstall to get it right on Vista machine.

Any help?

Best
Maximummatt

How many times have you tried to download today alone there maxxmatt? The max in 24hrs is three times and after the 24hrs have past since your last download attempt you will be able to download again...  One thing is that if you save the installer to your desktop you should have no problem from there to use that instead of having to redownload again....

You have a 5 limit per item per day. Have to wait till tomorrow to download again. You should save all your zips files so you can use them over as my times as you want with bothering the web sites. I have every zip file since I started downloading and yes there have been many times that they have came in handy.  ;D

Sorry Pat didn't see your post. So is it 3 downloads or 5?

It wouldn't allow me to download even the first time today... I havent downloaded the NAM for several months (I have done it a total of 14 times)... Maybe this is a problem with Vista or my settings on this new computer?   I went to the lex to download something and i keep getting a prompt that says "Windows cannot open folder"... and then says "Access to the compressed (zipped) folder....... is denied"

Hmmm that sounds like a setting issue there on your computer maxxmatt... I wish I knew what to do from here but I am clueless on that problem... Hopefully wouanagaine will see this and able to stop in and help or maybe Ripplejet or jayson can too!!!

BTW High5tower that is good question I thought it was 3 max in a 24 hour?? But it could very well be 5? I do the same thing I save all my downloads..

As this seems to be more of a settings problem than a LEX one I am moving this to the Technical Questions forum.

Max, are you using a download manager?  This attempts to open multiple instances and it will trip the counter. Try bypassing it for this if you are.
