PDF24 Download Error

[joeOPD]

Hi All,

It appears that PDF 24 is not downloading or creating an error.  I could be wrong though.  The publisher does take approx 16 minutes which I would assume is including the 15 minute time out.  However, when I try to download from https://stx.pdf24.org/products/pdf-creator/download/pdf24-creator-10.7.0.msi it is successful.  It was downloading successfully 2 days ago.  Should I add it to the content repo?

Any ideas?

perhaps by republishing a few times that their CDN is throttling my IP.  It looks like it is downloading very slow from the server.  Can I either raise the time limit to 30 minutes before timeout or use the local repo?

You can change the timeout, I did just test in a lab and it took roughly 30 seconds to download so some throttling might be happening.

To change the timeout follow this KB article: https://patchmypc.com/advanced-configurations-available-using-the-registry-for-patch-my-pcs-publishing-service#topic5

4 minute support reply time?!?!  Terrible customer service 

You guys are amazing!

If it wasn't a holiday it might have been a bit faster! If you run into issues don't hesitate to reach out!

Thank you!

Is it possible to default to local for non licensed installs?  That way I can mess around with this deployment without harassing their CDN.

[Jake Shackelford (Patch My PC)]

Yes in the Advanced section for local content you can specify to check locally before reaching out.
