When I try to download anything, I get this:

or this:

Does anyone know why this is happening, or how long it will continue?

    Works for me. Did you try the test page? https://winworldpc.com/download/test

    Yes, I did, and all the mirrors report the same IP address as the main site, but I still can't download anything.

    That is strange. I was trying other downloads and they worked ok, but I just now specifically tried Microsoft Excel 3.0 (3.5), and it is giving me that same error too. Are any other downloads giving you that error?

    I just checked, and the others are all working now. I agree, this is strange...

    It looks like whatever that is is intermittent. It might be the main site timing out when the mirror approves the download. For the moment, just try later if that happens.

    Update: The same issue is also occurring with CalcStar 1.47a for DOS.

    This is Not issue on WinWorld but your problem.

    (No problem to download all files you're mentioned.)

    Therefore there is no meaning to discuss this on this thread any more.

    ibmpc5150, I think this probably is something on Winworld's end. But it is not any specific file, it is just timing out now and then when things get slow. Like I said, if this happens, just wait and try again later. Perhaps calvin can take a look at that.

    I've downloaded a few of files with various IP and web browser. (IE / Firebox / Chrome)
    At least, there is no problem to download any files for me.

    I don't know there is also problem on WinWorld.

    Someone on IRC reported the same problem. They ended up using a proxy to access WinWorld and it worked fine.

    Also worth mentioning is that they were using an AT&T mobile hotspot. ISP problems mainly?

    My home connection is AT&T and I’m having the same issue. I usually download at work, so it doesn’t generally affect me. Not sure if this was a thing before.

    From what I've gathered, AT&T is blocking WinWorld. But why?
