Can't download from Thiefmissions

I have tried from the library and from work, No connection.
Anyone else having trouble? Any other source?

Thanks

I've just downloaded Aurumpendo.zip from CheapThiefMissions with no problems.

It's working fine for me as well in both Firefox and IE, though IE has some stupid blocker delaying things. Not sure what you mean by source but if it's download locations, then look (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=139559#Fan%20Mission%20Download%20Sites) here.

Just a wild speculation:
Are you using the 'Download Manger Tweak' AddOn in FireFox?
And you upgraded FF to v26 ?

Downloads will no longer be displayed in the normal download window.
To the user it appears like the browser does not even try to download it, but the downloaded files appear in your download folder anyway.
Best is to uninstall that AddOn - until the author comes up with an update.

I should probably specify that I am not getting ftp connections. Http
Works fine. I thought the library's "bandwidth management service" might
be blocking it for some reason. (Meraki) But work would not.

OK, I've had the chance to try some others. Keep of Metal and Gold is gone. The german site is working. The Circle Does'nt, and the Russian site just links to Thiefmissions.

So, Germany it is.

Thanks Nickie.

This might help you with access but it hasn't been updated with missions for some time. (http://web.archive.org/web/20131208114814/http://www.thief-thecircle.com/) This link will also get you there but it seems downloads aren't available.

It's unfortunately on DNS servers that aren't the most reliable which means that it can go down from time to time. As a work-around in the meantime you can add it to your local hosts file to bypass the internet DNS lookup.

Simply put, on Windows edit the file "c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts" in a text editor (you'll need to run the text editor in Administrator mode on Vista and later) and add the following line to the end:

74.208.213.90 (www.thief-thecircle.com)

That should allow you to access the site although I realise it's not the most ideal situation.

As far as the Keep is concerned, I think it will probably be back some time soon, with a bit of luck.
