I cannot get any of the clips to work on TV Ark, is it me or is anyone else having problems because clips on other sites are playing fine on my computer.

Are we allowed a new TV-Ark thread after Spineless Hicks closed the last one?

I've been meaning to ask this for a while - does anyone else find it takes ages for TV-Ark to load? I'm on broadband, and it always used to be quick, like most other websites, yet since they re-launced, it's been very slow downloading.

Certain egos take up a lot of bandwidth. Razz

I just can't get anything to play. It is realone player, it says it is connecting - then it says stopped. But I don't have any trouble with realone player on any other website.

Maybe try downlaoding RealPlayer (for some reaosn they have relaunched and dropped the 'One') - Maybe the new TV ARK is in RealPLayer format!

Just a thought!

When I was on dial-up it would often take about forty-five seconds for the front page to download properly.

Now I'm on broadband it still takes about five seconds (!) - longer than most pages, but I suspect it's because it's very graphics intensive. Mind you, it does look nice.

Go back to Realplayer 8. Free of the crap that the new RealPlayer/Realone has. I've tried the new RP and ended up going back to RP8 because it crashed so much and used so much memory! Evil or Very Mad

TV Ark working on their bandwith problem - I take it that is why I couldn't get any clips to work.

Yep, That was cause because of people downloading clips like 5000 a day , so as a result Tv Ark has temporarily suspended the updates whilst they are trying to sort out the bandwidth problem. Shocked

Imo, I think they should just put that anti right click software.

Why would that help? The issue really is over a minority visiting every link and downloading all the files using a site spidering program. A better solution is to restrict the amount one IP address can download at a time. It can be done quietly in the background, bypassing the moaners who disagree with the 'registering to download' suggestion. Nothing would stop it entirely but it would go some way and allow the site to continue with its excellent updated.
