RE: eSteem - announce release of desktop app!

in #esteem8 years ago

@good-karma the download links are broken (for me at least) it seems anywhere on the internet using s3.amazonaws downloads has broken where it gets about 2% done then fails from network error. Tried in multiple browsers and a few attempts at general download error solutions to no avail. Any chance you could setup an official mirror?

Hi, it is working for me... You can also try Direct APK download from our official github if you are Android user. https://github.com/eSteemApp/esteem/releases

Hmm, must be some local problem on my computer, or maybe they have my dynamic IP current address blocked, I have noticed that domain always fails downloads. I'm going for the windows desktop download, and if it's working for you then maybe I can use a friends PC to download and transfer the file that way :) Thank you for letting me know, I have asked about that domain in some other places and only crickets chirping (no responses) great place here on steemit ^_^

now tested.. unfortunately trying on another computer seems to have same result :c
the download starts, manages to complete a few MB of data, slows down, waits forever.
This always happens before 10% is finished for any file hosted at that domain.

My download manager links to some redirect on s3.amazonaws where the files are stored that shows XML errors: https://tinyurl.com/y8kdomlj

and then after some time the download fails from timeout

tested on 2 computers, 2 Ip addresses, in different browsers, etc.
is there any other place to download the windows desktop version?

You are trying to download desktop version 1. Please wait v2 release which we are currently working on. v1 is outdated and not maintained.

ok, interesting to know v2 is coming. Some good news about download problems is I have found a solution:

use multcloud.com service to download the file directly into google drive, and then download from google drive to local machine. I think something about s3.amazonaws doesn't play well with slow internet speeds, and using remote downloading in this way bypasses the timeout because they have such high speed internet for their cloud service. ^_^

I will be following for v2, looking forward to that
