  12. I think we are having a miss communication here, lets start again . We never said we would not allow you more download chances. You kept wanting another solution like FTP and to use Download Managers that we can not do. With your posts here and emails to me.... I felt like if I sent you another set of links, you would say I was being rude. Would you like another round of download links . The other option I offered you is to ship the DVD which you did not reply to. I did not get your other emails or I did not see them, not sure why, that does not matter. The important thing here is, were trying to help you as we have others.
  13. Chen, I have replied to every email you sent me. I have not seen another one from you until tonight at 6:30. I was eating dinner, but the kids to be and now I am responding 3.5 hours later. I think that's pretty good customer service in my book. No we are not providing a temp FTP site for anyone. That is not secure. Part of our job is to protect Javis material as much as we can. A temp FTP site would be irresponsible. You commented that most in Chine do not have high speed connections. While I can appreciate that and sympathies, why would you order training as a download if you know your connection is not good. Why does this then fall on my shoulders if you know you don't have good internet connections. Chen, I will do my best to work with you. But giving anyone FTP access is not the answer. What we can do is, ship the video to you if you would like to apply the download cost to shipping. We will get the DVD right out to you via post office. But please don't say you have been waiting 5 days when I replied to you...... Thursday saying we are fixing the link and sent you new download links. We even asked if you were in the states to talk to you to help you. No response from you... Then we emailed you again today at 11:42 am asking you if you got the files okay... again, no response. Then you say your waiting on US for 5 days...?
  14. Well here is what I have done since my last post. We have about 3-4 people saying the same thing, I do believe you guys. We also have about 10+ people who have privately emailed me saying it worked. I downloaded it and it worked. So the only thing I can think of is we moved to a beefier dedicated server last week, moved the DNS on Tuesday. Yes it should not be an issue.... but, I did upload the files to the old server once and after the move had to upload them again, as the new server was a older mirror. So, if your keeping up and a web guy .... I call them today as we have both servers through august.... had them take the latest upload and mirror to the old server as of 4pm today CST. SO..... While this does not make any sense DNS wise, I guess it is possible that a few people are seeing the old server on a old route to our DL machine. So.... those of you having trouble, please be patient one more time and try it again. I have as of 10 minutes ago, downloaded from the current server and the old server using IP addresses both files tested and unzipped for me. So the three of you.... lets try one more time.
  15. I appreciate you understanding, thank you! The reason we have the 3 attempts and 72 hour limit is for security for Javis' intellectual property. If you knew how many people we catch trying to share a download link with friends... asking us for another set of downloads only to get a report that they actually sent the link to a friend in another city, state, country. It is disgusting and only hurts the industry you are in. I am sure Andrew can speak to this a little bit as I am sure he deals with piracy as well. It is not fair to Javis and others to have their hard work simply stolen and then you have the nerve to pop back in here asking him for support for your stolen tutorial. What we have decided to do, is keep the downloads hands on and not automated unless you pay via PayPal. Even then if you need new links, we look at our logs. If you have shared the link, we deny you. And guess what, if you contest the charge, CC companies and PayPal stand behind us. We can prove you downloaded the file and tried to share it. We have won all our cases so far. sorry to turn this into a piracy thread but we have about 5 people here, doing that and a few of them are complaining about not getting there downloads here as if WE did something wrong or were not responding. Yes the file is big, we said in the threads it was over 6 Gigs. We got it down to a 3.7Gig download. If you do not have a fast connection, why would you even attempt this I know not everyone read the thread before purchasing. Having said that, we at KURV studios have ALWAYS worked with our customers to get you the product you paid for. We can take the fee and apply it to shipping and simply charge you the difference in shipping costs to mail you a hard copy. I know you don't want to wait.... but that's our options. I wish I were Scotti and could just beam you a copy but I cant.... at best I am the guy in the red shirt that you don't know his name and he dies half way through the show . But one thing we can not do, is give you a download link, show you tried to connect and download and then you tell us you did not get it, give you a refund. Sorry.... just like walking into Best Buy and picking up Windows. As soon as you open the box, you own it. If it is defective, we will fix it. But it is yours. Thanks guys. Lets get the thread back on topic here for the DVD. If you have any issue with the download let me know, I WILL reply and take care of you. If I do not reply within 12 hours, yeah post here, maybe your email hit my spam folder, I do check it, but we get a LOT or spam, like over 1000 a day. So have I ever deleted one I did not see..... yeah. Not intentionally. Bottom line, we want you to get your download as soon as possible after your order, that's everyone's goal here Thanks, if you have an issue, please email me at kurv [ at] kurvstudios - dot - com.
  16. Guys, first and foremost, we are here to help you. I HAVE been responding to every email I see even over the weekend. We are doing our best to be sure you get your files. Having said that, if you know you do not have a good internet connection... please do not order via download. We have have a LOT of people downloading the file just fine. Many have read this thread and have emailed me to say, 'just letting you know, I got the download, thanks'. There is no issues with IE OR FF, we have been offering downloads for over a year and have all the kinks worked out on our side. Having said that, the DVD just launched and there are a LOT of you on the server at the same time. DO NOT use download managers, our system is looking for ONE connection per customer. It is ALSO looking for one IP address logged per customer. Many of you, are sharing the download links and the system is shutting you out for connecting from multiple IP's. We are getting a higher number of flags for this over the weekend. Our server DOES support resume meaning if your ISP and computer allow for file resuming, then our server does as well. So if your file stopped at 200Mgs or at 2Gigs, when you connect again, our server supports resuming where you left off. Folks, we will do what ever we need to do to make you happy and get you these files. All we need you to do is email me with your order number, turn off your download managers and we will assist you as quickly as we can. As you can see I am checking in on things at 12:30 am on a Sunday night. Thanks for understanding. We said here the files were large.... you begged us for a download .
  17. I replied to you directly... sorry it was a LATE night last night so I slept in a little this morning :p
  18. Hello, yes we were uploading the files over night and they stalled. We are continuing today. When they are done, very soon, we will get you a new link Thanks for your patience!! As far as the time needed to download, we will make sure you get your product that's not a concern at all.
  19. First of all, thank you all for your continued support or Javis and KURV studios. We sincerely appreciate it! Hey guys, the webinar on sculpting and retopology is almost done. Just have to finish up the HTML for it and complete the cover. So it should be out this week. We are working on doing a LOT more classes very soon.
  20. The big advantage to live training is you get to ask questions and hear other questions answered as well. After 600 heads are better than one right . Also, we just got the approval from the guys over at Pilgway (makers of 3D Coat) that all registered customers for the class will receive $20.00 off 3D Coat if you do not already own it. Click here for more details - http://www.kurvstudios.com/live_training/ Also we just got the word in that everyone that registers will get a 20.00 coupon towards the purchase of 3D Coat. At this time it is only for new purchases, not upgrades, but were asking about upgrades We will let you know. Remember, as well... if you register you also get $20.00 off the retail DVD when released.
  21. Cant wait to see all of you in the class We have more people in this class than we have ever had before. No pressure Javis :P
