Not a single one of the Runs in the most recent News Update will Download. On top of that, numerous other ones (primarily for Nintendo 64 titles) are failing to Downlaod, too.

Does anyone have any idea as to what this current problem is?

It might help if you gave a more conside error message. "not downloading" doesn't tell me crap, because I check every link! 10 to 1 that it's your computer or internet connection.

Most of them have worked in the past. The main games which I'm encountering problems with Downloading the Runs of are Super Mario 64, F-ZERO X (in which all of the Runs are affected) and Mario Kart 64.

Could this, by any chance, be anything to do with the apparent problem which www.archive.org is having with Downloads to specific regions at the moment? I've tried all the Servers, so this seems unlikely, but still, I suppose it could be a potential possibility.

Are you using the link I provide directly to one of their servers, eg ia109334.us.archive.org for FZero X or are you going to the archive page and trying to download there with their default www.archive.org/download/ links?

I'm using the Links which you provide.

Sounds like you could've been hit by the same DNS problem with *us.archive.org that plauges me for a few minutes each day (or so). If you go to a DOS/command prompt and type:

ping ia109334.us.archive.org

what happens?
