Problems downloading Editor2 from SIMTEL

[Dimwit Nerfball]

Hmm, my experience indicates that the SIMTEL downloading sites are complete crap. Ads, ads, ads, and I never get the download file. Then, when I try to use the Notify Us button, I'm just routed in a circle to another page. Pure BS, and unbecoming to the Editor2 and 2xExplorer developer. Please provide your users a better download site alternative.

I *did* manage to find the 2xExplorer on a different download site; but I can't locate an alternate solution for Editor2. Can anyone provide me an alternative download site for Editor2?

Thanks!

Hello,

you can download at http://www.netez.com/2xExplorer/

Um, thanks, Han; however, if you try to use the link from the 2xExplorer site, you go to the SIMTEL site about which I was originally complaining. I need some *alternative* to the SIMTEL site, please.

Still hoping. . .

simtel provide an invaluable service that keeps freeware authors "in business". Bandwidth isn't free and downloads take massive amounts of it. So when you get a service for free you don't ask for too many frills.

i never had any problems with it. Recently they had a makeover and there are a few problems with some browsers but i believe they are working about it. You can help by reporting your difficulties to them so that they can fix them

having said all that. here's another link for ed2:

Thank-you, Nikos -- Exactly what I needed. Downloaded without a hitch.

I'm not sure what the issue was with SIMTEL -- I'm using IE 6.0, sp1, patched up-to-date, and I'm on an ADSL. Unless my ISP is doing something disagreeable with respect to downloading from SIMTEL, I am left to conclude it was their site. I was certainly experiencing some bizarre redirects yesterday. And I don't have that issue with other sites.

Just letting you know.

i still feel you should let the simtel webmaster know about it. If they don't know they'll never sort it out
