Technical problems - Changing engines
Added 2021-04-04 18:05:44 +0000 UTCHi all. Garin here.
I've got some bad news and some good news. Sky is now blocking backblaze. As it's one of the larger ISP's in the UK this is the last straw for our little download engine.
In the coming weeks we will be moving over to a Microsoft hosted server to git rid of the vast majority of these issues. We've been saving up for something like this, and this just moves us up in the timeline a bit.
In the meantime, if you are in the UK and use Sky, the easy fix is to change your DNS over to 1.1.1.1
Which is a good idea in general. We are very sorry about this, and are working to get our system converted as soon as possible.
We are still using CG&T for downloads and storage, we are just upgrading to a more robust back end download service.
As always, please send us a PM if you are having any trouble with the website and changing your DNS does not fix it.

HI. I'm glad it seems to be working out. You will still need to add the email address associated with your patreon account to comicsgamesandthings.com/accounts/email and make it the primary email.

2021-04-30 20:11:18 +0000 UTCI believe I found the issue. For whatever reason there were two emails attached to account. I have deleted the error one, which may have been the one you send the pm through that I didn't receive.

2021-04-30 13:40:41 +0000 UTCWell I think that is natural for a business to want to have their own page, managed by them where they can offer the whole range to you month by month and that is always accessible.

2021-04-04 21:31:51 +0000 UTCCurious why you dont just use google drive like the vast majority of other Patreons? So simple and easy for the majority of everyone to use, and I've never have download issues with it or my friends either. And able to download projects ranging from 1gb to 24gb so far NO PROBLEM. It seems like trying all these other services is just needlessly over complicating it.

2021-04-04 18:48:05 +0000 UTCIt'll all transfer over. From a user perspective, nothing will change except there will be a speed up and the FtF errors will go away.

2021-04-04 18:26:42 +0000 UTCWill the stuff at m we've got from CGT so be there or should I go on a Downloading binder?

2021-04-04 18:24:37 +0000 UTCThanks for the suggestion on DNS! I've found 1.1.1.1 is one of the best public DNS' available! :)
