narrationsd Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Hi Mark, read your reply now a couple of beta versions back, in short order. Impressive work by you guys. Now, about links and CDNs... - The CDN move really works. It was able to saturate a decent cable internet (is there such a thing...) with peaks of up to 50Mbit/sec, in California. This is great, and things even the size of Affinity updates arrive rapidly. - the links. I clicked today first on the Publisher update. Bingo, took right off downloading as expected Then I tried here, for Photo. As before, no joy. I had to right-click-open-in-tab, to get it What's the difference? The Publisher link is https, and the Photo one still isn't We are likely big boys and girls here amongst the betas, and can figure this out, but it doesn't feel good, or of the enormous design, quality, and advances level we know of Affinity Don't mean the loud pedal, just saying a feeling, and with a smile. Can't forget all the things you guys do do, either, as you can see Best, Clive emmrecs01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ingram Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 Thanks @narrationsd. The difference between Photo & Publisher is that Publisher isn't using the CDN link. We don't currently have the CDN configured for HTTPS, and it seems Chrome is taking a dislike to navigating from the HTTPS forum, to the HTTP download.

picolo Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Kept on clicking on link to download like usual but nothing happened until I used the "open in new tab" method. But it's super fast now, like 15 secs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomasp Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Oh my. I only use Chrome on my machines for one specific use case and to access a single website/service, therefore rarely perform updates. But when I do there's always regret. Always...

I already asked the developers two times over the distance of a few months. @Gabe told me they still have it in their to-do list and didn't forget it. I think it might be a little bit of a deeper problem that can't be fixed quickly. I submitted bugs a few times and they usually fixed it quite fast, I do trust the developers to not let us down on this. It will take time, but they will fix it.
