Dave Quail Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Hi Guys, The download link takes me to a Dropbox location to download from. Is this correct, as I have never downloaded anything from Affinity through Dropbox in the past? This is the download location: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hrlfm83gdykf93m/affinity-photo-customer-beta-1.7.2.424.exe?dl=0 Asus ROG Strix G17 Notebook: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H 3.80 GHz with Radeon Vega Graphics | 32GB DDR4 3200mHz RAM Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB Gfx | 2x 2TB SSD NVMe PCIe M.2 3x4 | Windows 11 Version 22H2 Build 22623.870 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HVDB Photography Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 True, but the (normal) download starts simultaneous. So look in your downloadfolder and just close that dropbox link.

Mark Ingram Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I've changed the links to be direct download now, so shouldn't take you to a page on Dropbox.com. It's quicker for me to upload, and should be quicker for users to download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VolkerMB Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Sorry, but I have to rain on your parade: Downloading from the Amazon server is much faster at my end then with the Dropbox server. So I guess it depends on how your ISP is connected to the internet (or how busy the lines are at the time of downloading). In short: It all depends on the individual situation.

VolkerMB Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Well, I had downloaded the installer the other day - from Mark's Dropbox which was painfully slow. So lets see what the primary download loacation will become in future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main retail downloads will still be hosted on Amazon with CloudFront edge distribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
