Because it normally takes several minutes to download my turns, on the screen a flashing box says "reading" repeatedly for those minutes. When the file is complete that box changes to a flashing "loading." In other words, I haven't downloaded a functional file until the "loa...

Re: downloaded your turns multiple times
Then your system is broken. The system needs to indicate when a turn loads successfully. When the last byte of a turn transfers and the "loading" routine begins, the program should also trigger something in your system that indicates that stage was reached. NONE of my failed downloads ever...

Re: downloaded your turns multiple times
I haven't had many problems downloading turns since the end of August, but I have had a few downloading failures in the last two days. For example, tonight my first download failed, so I tried again less than 3 minutes later. It failed again. So I waited an hour and it worked. As I noted in August, ...

MiFi already has 3G and theoretically will soon have 4G, whereas the others are slow. I don't have the choice of DSL or FIOS here. When the massive traffic to Vegas passes ...

Re: downloaded your turns multiple times
I just got this message. My only internet access is via a MiFi device that has as downloading speed between 10 and 25 kb/sec, so it takes a few minutes to do. Sometimes the connection fails and so a message comes on the screen that says the download failed. As I recall (this has happened a couple of...
