If you are using either AOL or RoadRunner internet services, you may have noticed recently that if you try to download clips from TickleTheater, The_Rocking, or SolePatrol's sites, you will get a very slow download speed if any at all.

Well it seems that there is a problem with the clips server that is beyond our control. It is actually a problem between AOL (Who is also RoadRunner) and Cogentco (Who is the bandwidth provider for the clips server that hosts our clips).

Here is the official response from Cogentco:

"The issue in this case is with AOL. We have had an ongoing peering relationship with them based on a connection of 2 OC-12s. We recently upgraded these connections to include 2 OC-48s to accommodate our significant traffic exchange. These connections have been up and running smoothly for 2 weeks now. Overall, we've spent over $100 thousand to create this robust peering infrastructure.

This week, however, AOL announced a unilateral decision to cut off all our connections. This announcement came as a surprise to all involved and the reasons behind it remain unclear.

We are struggling to make sense of AOL's decision and are working around the clock to try to get it resolved. We want to assure you that we are trying our best to stay on top of this critical issue and give our customers the best service possible.

We're aware that this is affecting some of our customers and we are working to improve things as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your patience. We understand this affects your business and we apologize for the temporary performance lapse."

Hopefully this will be resolved soon because I am using RoadRunner here myself, and it will make updating the site a very very long process if I can only upload at sub dialup speeds.
 
i have roadrunner and downloaded the clips, although they were VERY slow, as if i were downloading them with a slow modem.
 
This is curious, surely a company as large as AOL would be able to work something out, they are worldwide now, so I doubt funding would be a problem for them, it makes you wonder what they're playing at.
 
It really has nothing to do with funding at all. (IMHO)

Basically AOL/Time Warner decided to not connect with Cogent Communications anymore for whatever reason. There are several theories, but none of them proven. I know Cogent is trying to work a deal with Level3 or Above.net services which would restore speeds to a degree. Whether it would be faster then than it was before is beyond me...

But I seriously doubt Cogent will be ready with their OC connections by the end of this week, so I may have to postpone the weekly update due to the fact I now connect much slower than even dialup users to the server.
 
I can't download shit from the Rocking's Page!

I can't download shit from the Rocking's Page! It keeps asking for a freaking password! I thought the rocking's page was free god damit!

Dude, don't be an ass. :sowrong:


The_Rocking, Tickle Theater, and other such kind individuals provide content to you for free out of the goodness of their hearts and as a service to the community. As you are not required to compensate them for the time and effort which they expend in providing media for your enjoyment, they are beholden to you for nothing. Thus, pissing, moaning, and bitching at said providers of free content will serve only to annoy and anger them, thereby discouraging them from further output, and is rather akin to shooting yourself in the foot. Further, such actions display both piss-poor manners and a decided lack of gratitude. Use your head, and do not allow your compulsive need for masturbatory assistance to overcome your good judgement. 🙄
 
Thank you asutickler for defending and understanding our positions. 😎

Neo-Human,

Unless you see a place to enter a credit card, the site is still free. You need to be more specific when you say something doesn't work because it could be due to different causes.

Since I don't know exactly how you are trying to download the files, I am just going to say enter therocking for the username and tickletheater for the password.
 
Man, this definitely sucks. I use roadrunner and 99% of all the clips I have downloaded either came from Tickle Theater or from the Rockings website. Now it takes forever to download them. I thought something was wrong with computer.
 
Please be patient it's just a matter of time that this thing will be running again...
 
:sowrong: ...i cant believe someones complaining about a problem getting free stuff,it`s not tickle theatre or rockings job,they do it as a favour to us,perhaps some people should try and remember that!! i`m sure i speak for the vast majority of people here when i say thanks,once again,for all of your efforts,i for one really appreciate it.
 
asutickler that was awesome! :blaugh:

that response of yours was freakin hilarious. i laughed my ass of on that one. neo-human was way out of line. keep up the good and much appreciated work tickletheater and rocking!
 
damn, my little laughing smiley face didn't work. how do you get them to work?
 
I don't use roadrunner or AOL and the clips still don't work. Keeps asking for a password or something.
 
Exactly

I, too, am getting a request for a Password. Now that I've read this thread, I assume this is part of the problem, and not that Rocking or Tickle Theater are asking for Passwords. I would hope that eventually, when this clears up, that no Password will be needed, as one never has in the past. If this had all been posted on the clip thread maybe people would have seen it and understood. Thank you for your time.
 
Well are you guys having problems with the TickleTheater clips download section, or just The_Rocking's page?
 
Yea

Tickle Theater, I have AT&T Broadband Internet....and I can't even connect to the server....
 
Perhaps do a traceroute to the server and see where it is hanging up. Heh, chances are that one of the stops your connection has to go through to get to the server was AOL or RoadRunner based. Wouldn't surprise me, they are the big dogs of the internet service world...sigh...
 
Hm..

TT...allow me to make a request? The 2nd clip down form the top...the fm concepts stocking foot tickle clip...I really am dying to see that clip...I was wondering if you could either post it here, or maybe send it to me...if not, thats cool. I have hotmail though...so it may be too big...
 
Hotmail has like a 1mb limit, and the clip is several mb's in size. Besides, if I send it to you then soon I'll have many many many people wanting me to send to them and I simply don't have the luxury of time. 😉
 
OMFG

OMFG...it was my firewall....I took it down and got the clips...lol...sorry for wasting your time TT.
 
I am also having problems downloading The Rocking's clips. They tell me something about a password also. Does anyone know how to get around this, or if anyone has the dungeon clips (YES!!) and the cowgirl clip post theme here please? I got a very very small taste of the dungeonspy clip before the download cut off and I'm dying for more. Thank you.

P.S: Serious thanks to The Rocking and Tickle Theatre: Version 1.0 to provide us with free clips like this. You guys flow of good Mattitude vibes.
 
No clip

This occures on both the Rock's page and the Theatre clips and previews:

Internet Explorer cannot download (name of file) from 66.28.14.58.
The password was not allowed.

This is an IE error message.

Hope it helps.

Right Click the file, and Save Target As... 🙂
 
Not to poke anyone in the eye but I have been right-clicking for quite some time. I got most of the 132 mainstream clips and all of the animated ones. The error occures after 'Save Target As' instead of the save screen. I did get the three renfair clips. The error began a day or so after that. Got the consumption junction clips since this episode began (the link may have been posted on Tickle Theater's forum). I am not using a firewall and am connected through my local telephone company using IE version 6.0. Has anyone checked to see if the ftp site address is correct? Just a thought.
