    Default Cannot seem to download anything

    When I click on a ROM or a magazine in the magazines section, it tries to load for a bit and then brings me to an error page. The error is:

    The connection has timed out

    The server at 50.7.161.234 is taking too long to respond.

    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

    This happens in all the ROMs and magazines I've tried so far. Is there an issue with the server, or is it on my end? I just tried downloading some BIOS and that seems to work.

    It appears that you're having some trouble connecting to our EU servers. Not sure why though as they are working fine right now.

    For ROMs, you can just switch to the North American server (click on Edit Download settings). Unfortunately we don't have that functionality for magazines, etc.

    For the magazines, I'm trying to download these two:

    I think my sucky ISP would be the issue then. I have a feeling it would be due to their proxy settings. Thanks for the advice on setting it to NA server! Will try it later.

    Thanks!

    Yeah those links work perfectly. I bet it has something to do with your proxy..
