[still.james]

thanks, downloading now..46mins left :(

[Henry D]

thanks, downloading now..46mins left :(

You are lucky...I have 6 1/2 hours left!

[still.james]

6 1/2 hours! :(

i have it downloaded now and cant login sub site anymore, its temp down...to many users downloading?

[rudolfweyers346383]

We are on the AutoCAD Revit Visualisation Suite on subscription...but none of the latest releases for all the software is available for download.....any reason why?

[m.thomas]

What a joke.
Read somewhere that Autodesk stated that they would be able to handle the load.
Obviously not the case.
Download Manager does not work and also the unassisted download method is not working for me.

Thats human nature for you I can see it and want it now :lol:

[m.thomas]

Lol ..."Access to the Subscription Center is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

[still.james]

well i have left it uploading for a mirror at my house as several 300mb rars....but it wont be fully done till i get home as it wasnt fully rar'ed (was gonna be late getting to office if i would of waited)

[cvandevere]

Yep, downloaded first thing this morning, have it installed and running. So far so good.

[dzatto]

Dammit!!!! I knew I forgot to do something before I went to bed last night.
I was gonna check the site around 12:30 or so and see if it was available. Oh well, subscription site is still down. :(

[pfaudler]

Lol ..."Access to the Subscription Center is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

I get the same message here in the UK too.

[travismv702230]

[dzatto]

the mad dash is on... :lol:
Well my home internet connection is about 5X faster than my work, so I'll just download my personal copy tonight. I'll let IT worry about getting the work copy. lol

[mferrell]

Installing 2011 now and found it interesting that there is already a service pack for it.

Looks great. I like the thinner ribbon that uses more of my wide screen monitor

[ws]

Just a point about Download Manager - and maybe it's a UK thing - but it works great with the latest version of Firefox but for me it doesn't work under IE8 nor Opera browsers.

2011 downloaded in about 1 hour for me using Download Manager and Firefox on Win 7 64 bit.

[gwnelson]

Great - an hour & a half later I get this:

[cvandevere]

No problems here with the download manager & IE8 earlier, downloaded in less than 30 minutes.

[patricks]

LOL dang such a mad dash for this stuff! Just wait till tomorrow. :p or try again later ;)

[cliff collins]

Downloaded and installed this am.........

Nice new toys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the realistic view.

cheers

[Matt Brennan]

Subscription center still down. Booooooooo.

[Matt Brennan]

Can anyone post the downloaded files on ftp site?

[bregnier]

We are on the AutoCAD Revit Visualisation Suite on subscription...but none of the latest releases for all the software is available for download.....any reason why?

Might have something to do with the fact that Autodesk is discontinuing the version of Navisworks that comes with RAVS... methinks they might be reformulating that particular package.

[still.james]

Can anyone post the downloaded files on ftp site?

i will have a mirror in about an hour or so - when i get home i can upload the rest of the files (i have rar'd it to smaller chunks)

[Matt Brennan]

Awesome stuff. Thanks in advance for doing this.

VERY cool of you to do this....

[Matt Brennan]

You know how they say that they "have to" keep selling AutoCAD because it's in such great demand?

So, why didn't the servers crash when everybody went to download AutoCAD 2011?
Not until just "those few" Revit users are downloading did they crash :?

I downloaded 3ds MAX 2011 with no issues as well. There HAS to be more MAX users on subscription.

They're all lazy? Or taking long weekend?

[m.thomas]

Finally getting some lovin !

Download at 6% with an hour to go.

Can anyone tell me if the install is as previous versions i.e when programme is installing will it have to download all the families and materials .cab files or are they in the 2.59GB file ?

[Paul Monsef]

They're all lazy?
Maybe on the hard-core 'gamer' side

[travismv702230]

I got through. :mrgreen:
1% progress according to the download manager. 2.59 GB for the Revit Architecture Suite...

[Paul Monsef]

Yup. Everett is in. 14%...

[Matt Brennan]

now installing! Wooo Hooo!

That's been my day so far!

[patricks]

Seems to be working now.

ADSK download manger pshhhhh.... I'm doing a browser download now in Firefox, 27% with only 14 minutes remaining at 2.2+ MB/sec. Thing is flying!!! :)

[gwnelson]

Mine just finished 2nd attempt download. 1st time download mgr just stopped, said it was finished.

This came in at 340kb/sec as we have the very sucktacular Verizon service here.

[patricks]

As much as I hate Crapcast (Comcast), the business class internet is pretty blazing, most of the time. :mrgreen: Up to 79% already, less than 4 minutes left.

[Paul Monsef]

Comcastic.... 94% 3 min remaining...

[patricks]

And it's done! Probably 20 minutes or so. One thing I miss from IE in Firefox is the total elapsed time and average download rate that appears after a file finishes downloading.

Probably won't be able to install it until tomorrow. But I've been beta testing so I already know what's in there. :)

[still.james]

for this that wish to download via FTP here is the info

FTP Username: revit@mdk-legion.com
Password: revit
FTP Server: ftp.mdk-legion.com
FTP Server Port: 21

please note, these files are RAR'd and you will need all downloaded to extract - and the program winrar.

i have split it to several 300mb chunks

[DaveP]

I'm in now, too.

Guess they can finally show some love to the Midwest.
:grin:

[Silleke]

Lucky enough to have it downloaded today 15 april.
Have a quick install and see all the cool things in there.

Enjoy the new exploration.

[Munkholm]

Had no problems what so ever, but then again, I just "happened" to look for it, just before it was announced here. So RAC and ACA downloaded in just 35 minutes :-)

That´s 7 hours ago, and I’ve still not installed it, but as so many others, I´ve been Beta testing, so "Christmas Eve" is kind of ruined for me :shock:

But hey, if Autodesk could ensure the 15th as the release date in the coming years, Ii just "MIGHT" be possible that I´ll also remember my anniversary date... :rolleyes:

[zanzibarbob7]

I got mine downloaded but it hangs up when I enter the SN and Product key. It just spins and won't go any further. It says the key may be valid but can't verify now but simply won't go any further. I'm thinking about dumping it and downloading it again.

Comments?

I got it installed on my 32 bit computer with the original download and tried a new download for my 64 bit but have the same problem. It just hangs up after I enter the SN and product key so it must be related to the 64 bit version, or my computer. Anyone have a similar problem.

That's what I'd do. A download is about 30 mins. You'd spend more time trying to figure it out. I'm just wondering if Revit is like ACA when you uninstall. Do you have to delete registry files and such? That might be a pain.

[cstanley]

When I try to DL it just redirects me to fill out a support request... :lol:

Fill it out! lol

Where are you in Dallas? I'm in Big-D as well.

[twiceroadsfool]

Dallas? Im a recent NY > Dallas transplant as well. :)

[dzatto]

Crazy. I was born in NY! Small world.

Question. Downloded Revit suite. Installed ACA first and decided to try it out before installing Revit. My serial number doesn't work. How the heck do you activate it?? It says subscription customers need to enter the group ID? I don't have one that I know of. Help!

[Paul Monsef]

Installed ACA first and decided to try it out before installing Revit...
You're kidding right?

As far as your S/N and Key. Log into the Sub Center and click on Contract Information, then click on Coverage Report.
Then click on the Contract# to see all the related S/N. I believe for standalone, the group ID is the same as the S/N.

LOL Nope, I'm serious! I just started Revit and still have projects in ACA. It's been good to me over the years. I'm gonna miss him. :cry:

Anyway, I did what you suggested first, but the SN still didn't work. I'll try it again.

[bulletproofdesign]

Why doesn't AD employ torrent technology during the first week of availability.

This would speed things up, to more people who were trying to download.

I'm waiting for my nice shiny box.....

mmmmmm. Shiny.....

[kingjosiah]

...Im a recent NY > Dallas transplant....

so you finally made it out of NY? i know i've never corresponded with you, but i recall a few of your posts where it sounded like you were looking for the first ticket out of the state. good luck to you in TX!

socal is a great place also....just too bad there is so little work out here.

- jon


...off to the subscription center now. hope all this traffic i'm reading about has died down.

[twiceroadsfool]

SoCal is a dream eventually... Dallas had some great opp's for right now though. Everyone needs a scenery reformat now and again.

New city, new apartment, new Revit. And go!

I used to live in SoCal too! lmao. I've also been to MS, not so proud of that one. lol

Anyway, back to Revit, I screwed up. I installed Revit using the correct license info and it worked fine. When I installed ACA I tried to use my 2010 info. I didn't know to get the new SN. Soooo, how do I fix it?? It won't take the correct one either. But Revit works!

Wow, you must have just moved here yesterday! I notice your address under you avatar now says Dallas.

[twiceroadsfool]

I moved about 2 weeks ago. I just changed it this morning, LOL.

[dzatto]

Well, welcome to Dallas. The place where there is tons to do, yet you're always bored. lol

[bulletproofdesign]

Great - an hour & a half later I get this:

Did you find a solution?

It appears that the x64.cab file in my download is 'corrupt'. I extracted everything else from the .exe and tried installing the 32bit and was told that eval.msi was missing..... Aaargh.... another 2.6GB download.... Nah I'll wait for the opst, and let you guys nut out all the other bits!!
