[solved] Download impossible from xda

Hi there,

since more than a week already I try to download a custom ROM (ArchiDroid 3.1.5), but have no luck at all.

You can chek my post in the relevant forum section: "http:// xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63938375&postcount=4040" (linking not allowed for me, so remove space before "forum")

My real DL/UL speed is 27/~5 Mbit/s, but the download speed starts eventually at 20kbit, then slows down to around 10 and less to stop completely after a while.

Best result I had was like 125 MB downloaded from 692 or so. Then each further attempt fails with an error 410.

So what's happening here? Any chance that someone could post a torrent file or a direct dl link on Dropbox/google drive/mediafire or wherever?

Is there any geo-blocking going on? Resolving the download doesn't work. Tried it with Chrome and Firefox (latest each).

Thanks for any pointers and/or other helpful gestures.

Raphael :confused:

edit: Using a proxy with an US-based IP it finally seems to work. It's still not a blistering speed, but a steady rate of ~300kb/s, which will finish the download in ~1h or so.
[About XDA developers] Droidriven:
Its not an XDA problem. Its a whoever/wherever it was uploaded to problem. What users post in these threads and where the files get uploaded to is not XDA's decision, that is decided by the person posting it and your speed depends on where they actually uploaded the file(dropbox, mediafire, android filehost, etc..)
[About XDA developers] funkoff:
I'm sorry then for the post, being so frustrated to not being able to download. I thought the dev. files in the download section were all hosted on xda, since they don't link to any other site? And it has been posted by the developer, not any user content I'm talking about (even though devs are evidently also users :rolleyes:).

Will remove the offending bit in my previous post.

All my sincere apologies

Raphael

:silly: me
[About XDA developers] Droidriven:
No, problem, I don't think you were offensive. I was just filling in the blanks for you.
[About XDA developers] uudruid74:
I'm having trouble with a devdb project. When I try to add a new file in the Download section (http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/?id=12583#downloads) it tells me I don't have authorization, but I'm the creator! And I'm logged in, not refusing cookies or anything ... even killed my ad blocker!

Then I went into the 'Edit Project" link and added the name of the Beta that I was trying to upload. It reverted the first post to its original condition, removing all the changes I had done to that point. I just looked at the revision history and its showing that all the changes are still there ... but its displaying the original instead of whats in the changelog. I'm not very happy about this.

Any idea on how to fix these? I can't update anything without this getting worse and can't upload the files !
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
[MENTION=450224]bitpushr[/MENTION] - any ideas?
[About XDA developers] uudruid74:
No help at all?? I had a moderator jump on me for not having a direct link to kernel source, and now I can't find a mod? Worse, that link is down since the system is showing the wrong post (check the changelog and you'll see its all there). Does that mean my project will be pulled since I can't comply with the GPL?

Is there another place to ask? Who runs this mess?
[About XDA developers] eagleeyetom:
No need to get upset, mate. Please give [MENTION=450224]bitpushr[/MENTION] some time. Maybe [MENTION=5136613]rwestergren[/MENTION] can look into it as well. If a moderator contacts you about the issue caused by a technical problem, please let me know.
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
This is no mess. Perhaps if you give us a link or something to what on earth you're talking about?
[About XDA developers] uudruid74:
I was given 5 days by the moderator that wanted a link to the kernel source! And I already had a link to the original author's thread that had the link to the kernel source. I have very little bandwith and I just blew a few hundred MB (and hours of my time), only to get an error message after the fact (see screenshot). Users keep asking where to download the update I spent all this time on, and I can't upload and I can't put a link in the first post because my changes don't show up. The whole situation is royally screwed.

The problem is obviously not on my end. If you guys could fix YOUR end as quickly as I was threatened, I wouldn't be in this mess. And yet when I asked the same mod that shoved the GPL at me, I couldn't even get a reply! Not even a "sorry, can't help". So I don't know what else I can do to make this work.
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
The 5-day request we give you isn't a threat, it's just our policy to ensure users comply with GPL. No one is singled out, it's followed through with everyone. I'm not sure how long you've waited for the mod to reply, but perhaps they are on holiday or ill or something.

And you still haven't given us a link to the thread you're talking about. We can't help unless we have that.
[About XDA developers] :
Why did you feel the need to post here? This could have easily been handled in PM between us. If I missed a PM, pm again. My inbox can get very busy. And we all can get busy in real life too.

I'm not sure what you are trying to do, but all that is needed is a link. Nothing needs to be uploaded if you are using anothers kernel. Just put his link to source in your thread.

And all on XDA must respect the rules here, and the GPL. If you feel attacked, that's unfortunate.

As far as a 5 day "threat", its been over 15 days. Not much of a threat, is it? ;)

So, let's stop cluttering this thread and please pm me if you are having issues. Of course I will help. :good:
[About XDA developers] uudruid74:
This was in my original request. Please read my original message

[MENTION=4036181]Darth[/MENTION] You were the first person I tried. But after your first message to me, I never got another response no matter what I said. I asked you who could help with this and who I was supposed to talk to, then came here. And I basically got no response until I started acting like an ass.

I know the 5 day thing wasn't really a threat. My point is that I was told to "be patient and wait" but if I was given 5 days to get something done, then I would expect the same limit in exchange, and I haven't even gotten an "we're working on it" .... instead I get a request for a link which is the very first thing I gave. Let me do it again ...
[About XDA developers] Clark Joseph Kent:
Since you failed to provide the simple link days ago, just take it to PM with the action-ing Moderator that has posted here. You can stop worrying, about the "threat" from the Moderator....since there wasn't any threat...

Thank you and again,. you can resolve this via PM. Since you have the Moderator attention.

[About XDA developers] Clark Joseph Kent:

This isn't so much a problem with xda, but rather a heads up to Admins/Moderators.

There is a clone of xda at

forum.freelatestmovies.org/

that is mirroring threads in what I'm guessing is a phishing attempt.

It most certainly is a phishing attempt. Login takes you back to xda (Don't worry didn't use actual login).

Also not only are xda accounts at risk, there is a G+ sign-in page as well: forum.freelatestmovies.org/social-login/google.php

PPS: use /?nocache=1 to see the homepage. Images are broken but it's a bonafide carbon copy of xda.

Figured one of the admins could issue a takedown request or warn xda users to make sure they are logging in on xda-developers.com and not some other site.

A couple a thoughts I had

The new Xiaomi Redmi 3 forum does not have a General section,

but instead it has a Guides, News, & Discussion (http://xdaforums.com/redmi-3/how-to)

which seems to me much clearer, that it is not for questions, unlike a General section.

I hope that Guides, News, & Discussion will also be used in other forums.

Could the Amazon Fire Forum names be edited to include year and/or generation?

Something like this

2011 Amazon Kindle Fire 1st Generation

[About XDA developers] Droidriven:
That wasn't someone posting the name they wanted to change to.

That was a member mentioning [MENTION=278202]the_scotsman[/MENTION](one of the XDA Administrators). I'm not sure if they were just trying to get his attention or if they mentioned him to bring his attention to the members request for a name change above his post.
[About XDA developers] orangekid:
He was mentioned so that he would get an alert to see the post and make the change.
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
Yep, he was just using the mention system to flag me to the name change request :)
[About XDA developers] Droidriven:
Yep, I stated that case.

By the way [MENTION=278202]the_scotsman[/MENTION], I was doing some research and stumbled across a whole article written by a former XDA member/developer that didn't seem to like you very much and the whole article was an ungrateful rant against you and XDA itself.

His article even quoted emails that the two of you were giving each other a ripping in back and forth.

You did your job and he wasn't very pleased about it, it seemed to be something the two of you were in contention about for a fair amount of time. I think it had something to do with him not releasing his resources from what he developed, you probably know exactly who I'm talking about.

I found his reaction to be humorous so I figured I'd mention it, lol.

Google+ moderation problems

Char G and Tony Roach in the Google+ group are simply deleting posts because their views do not align with a community member beliefs, not because of VIOLATIONS. Please see my screen record of this thread. https://plus.google.com/+RobertStevensJR/posts/Gs794jUKhne

This is very childish behavior for a moderator, XDA needs to control the Google+ group better.

And the YouTube video of it, over 2000 members found interesting and engaging, someone needs to reconsider who runs the Google+ group. https://youtu.be/ofdqy48HdHk

If you notice the page logo for that group, that is an UNOFFICIAL XDA group, it is in no way managed or endorsed by us.

As a general rule, XDA isn't concerned with, or cares about what happens off of XDA. Especially social media.

[About XDA developers] T-Macgnolia:
Just to set the record straight here

Hello all I am Tony Roach the mod of the G+ community that [MENTION=2691654]Totaltelecom[/MENTION] is complaining about. The Unofficial XDA G+ community was started several years ago by Debadatta Bose who is a recognized contributor here on the XDA Forums. I can not remember his user name here on XDA but I do know I was a recognize contributor too at the time he started the community which sometime over three years ago now. He posted a thread in the private RC forum about him starting the community as it was right when Google added communities to G+. In the thread he asked if anyone wanted to be moderators in the community. So several of the RC's and myself jumped at the chance. I have been a moderator there ever since. I also use to be a moderator here on XDA and descussed me being a moderator on the Unofficial G+ Community in the moderator's forum some as well. So it is not like this community just started. Further more we felt that it should have the same rules as XDA Forums so that is why we link to the XDA Forum rules page as it is the best way to direct members to a list of rules. The community has never and will never claim to be affiliated with XDA Forums and as you all have mentioned it clearly has "Unofficial" in the title. Here is a link to the Unofficial XDA Community if anyone wants to just take a look at it.

Now the whole reason that this has been brought to XDA Forums is because Totaltelecom (who is Rodger "Rob" S On G+) was banned from the Unofficial XDA G+ Community for repeatedly using vulgar language and showing total disrespect for the moderators in the comments of his post he uploaded a video of here. He says he was not being vulgar in the comments but he was and then he would go back and edit his comments as well as repeatedly delete moderator comments. He even admits to it in the comments. If you got to 1:45 in his video you see my fellow moderator Char G post a comment asking why he is deleting her comments. The next comment is his and his reply is, and I quote "+Char G why not".

I am very sorry that he has brought this to you moderators as I do know some of you from when I was a mod here on XDA Forums. I was the one that banned him and I never thought he would be such a bellyacher about this situation. Especially as I tried very hard to give him several chances to stop his behavior over a simple poll about which do people think is better removable batteries or non removable batteries. Again from all the owners and mods of the Unofficial XDA G+ Community we do apologize for this situation being brought to XDA Forums.
