I have not logged in for 2 months....
I tried to download a vid and I was given this message

ERROR: You are attempting to download this video too soon after your last download attempt.

so I thought...ok

help!?

(PS also....if I installed Premier can I just capture vids from my PC DVD drive?)

you not being logged on for 2 months has nothing to do with the problem, you most likely clicked on a 'local' download link twice in a short period of time....try downloading it again and see what happens

/end

You might also try logging out and clearing your cookies (months of cookies...? o.O ) then logging back in.

I find I have the same problem. I click on everything once, wait the 10 seconds, then the manual link pops up, but before I click on it, it goes to a page saying I'm attempting to download too soon after my last attempt.

After 10 seconds your download should start itself automaitcally. Wait before clocking the manual link- that's an insurance mehanism for if the automatic download doesn't work.

Hey,

Local download should start automatically. The local download system will only allow one attempt every 60 seconds for a particular video. If you cancel the attempt within 60 seconds and try it again, you will receive the error message you've gotten. This is a measure to combat bandwidth-wasting "download accelerators". Sorry for the trouble.

Phade.
