GalCiv updates won't download via Impulse

November 26, 2008 4:46:30 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I own GalCiv Gold + Twilight of the Arnor and try to update all GalCiv versions via Impulse to the latest updates. Unfortunately, it does not work, but in spite of letting it try to download for *hours*, there comes always a "experiencing network difficulties" message. Sure my network works just fine, and I can download a 5 MB file from anywhere else in seconds...

With Stardock Central, downloads always worked fluently and without such problems, so why cannot Stardock offer these downloads via Stardock Central, if Impulse doesn'r really work?

Click on the ? in the upper right of impulse and post the last few entries.  It might help figure out the issue.

Are you behind a proxy firewall?

If you click on the Stardock orb (in the upper left) and then Preferences and then connection do you have BITS enabled?  Try checking or unchecking that.

Set up your proxy info if you have that.

No proxy, just normal NAT traversal via a router.

I activated the "legacy download system", and with that it actually worked! Sometimes legacy has its advantages...
