Well here is the official answer....the server was overloaded last night with everyone trying to download Top Gear at the same time...hence why we have to restrict the number of people that have access to it.

The videos used to be open to everyone to download....but the server was so overloaded at that time that the actual forums crashed as well...meaning no JW for anyone...

Wonder how many people remember that happening...it was a long time ago...and has never happened again since we restricted access.

I remember that :cry: :cry:

No, in fact, I remember when it was necessary to have at least 60 post to get access to the videos. But after that, it happened again. bye bye videos :cry:

Yes... sadly most people seem to think we restrict access to the videos for personal reasons and not technical ones.

Yep, I would say that most of the new individuals assume this to be the case. Having no idea how all this was implemented and the size that JW has grown to over time. So quick to think they know what's going on, when they really have no idea.

Well, when I came here I tried looking for the key to the vids as well, but I couldn't find a decent answer. So thanks for clearing up everything Jabba
