IMPORTANT
NOTES ABOUT THE USE OF DOWNLOAD MANAGERS!!!
Some users are using "download managers"
to attempt to speed up downloads. These software programs work by
establishing, or attempting to establish, multiple connections to the same
site to thwart the site's attempts to limit bandwidth to any one
connection; the data downloaded from these multiple connections is
recombined at the client's computer to form a complete file. At
PersonalCopy, we consider this to be abusive behavior, and have taken some
steps to discourage the use of download managers. Firstly, we have
configured the server so that they don't work very well - you'll see only
a slight improvement in download speed if you try using one - for a brief
time. More importantly, if you download using one, your attempts to
establish multiple connections are noted by the server, and if you
persist, access to the soundfonts you're trying to download will be
suspended; all downloads in progress will halt and time out, and new
attempts to download files, or retry the halted downloads will fail. This
will happen automatically. You can still browse the site, but you can't
download anything. After a couple of days, your access will be restored -
if you come back, disable your download manager or it will happen to you
again.
You will see another
warning when
you get to the download page - please heed the advice and disable your
download manager. We see many users' efforts fail because they have
attempted to download files using a download manager, and they keep coming
back and fail subsequent times. Don't waste your time - disable your
download manager now!
