PPG: Request testers for download problems

[jcompton]

Some people have been reporting ongoing problems downloading from PPG in recent months. We may have just fixed the problem, but because it was impossible to reproduce locally in the first place, we cannot be sure.

 

If you have had trouble downloading from PPG in the past (stalled and/or unreasonably slow downloads), please try again now. If you've visited PPG in the past 48 hours or so you may need to clear your DNS caches first (remember to do this on both your computer and router, if applicable.)

 

If you're still having trouble and have access to Unix-y tools, please try running the following command:

 

curl -I http://mods.pocketplane.net/BanterPacksV14.zip

 

and email or PM me the results.

The returned header looks fine here. I haven't downloaded anything from PPG in ages, nor do I remember problems, so just ignore me.

Right, the problem won't be in the header as such, but if someone is still having problems, then I want to verify that they are actually going through the CDN.
