Hello folks,

I’ve found a rather sporadic bug when trying to download bbPress 0.9 from teh downloads page. Specifically rather than going to the .zip file, it led me to a blank page instead.

2 computer, 4 browsers, same issue.

Been like this since at least this morning (GMT).

I’m presuming it’s a hic-up, but just thought i’d point it out

I had the same problem when I created my last new thread. Very weird.

For me it happens a lot when downloading a plugin. Just hit refresh and it will eventually work.

I’ve had this problem when downloading plugins while signed out… if I sign it, I’ve noticed it tends to work?

The issue happens more often than it usually would for me, b/c the plugins install uses 0.8.3 and isn’t signin integrated with the main forum (which uses the latest version).

At least, I think that signing in will fix the downloads! It could just be random chance that ever time I’ve signed in before, the downloads have started working again!

This has to be a communications hickup to the SVN because I occasionally have the same problem downloading the plugins.

Next time it happens, try copying the link and putting a random query after it, ie. https://bbpress.org/legacy.tar.gz?12345 and see if that makes a difference (or not).
