This is caused by one of two things.

1) To many people are trying to download at once, in which case, just keep trying and eventually your download would work.


This is the problem because of east side.

my favorite part is that as soon as I hit the DL button the money was out of my account. the least bungie or MS could do is post it somewhere "Sorry problems bbl" but nothing at all. noone even has the balls to show up in the forums and say "yeah, our bad"

Guys don't get mad. The amount of people trying to download these maps is off the wall. Mine worked fine...first try no delays. If they tried to open another server they would first have to shut down the first one which would mean no downloads. Then it would take time to open up another one.

Your wrong about the servers. Servers have not been like that since back in the old-school days. Servers nowadays do not have to be shut down to add another server to their network.

I'm now taking bets on how many pages this thread gets before we finally get some answers. At the current rate of growth I'd say at least 25 pages.

CURRENT BETS
Ske11 - 32 pages.
djohnsa - 35 pages.

Heres what they said to me and are gonna tell you:

"You are not the only person having this problem. We are aware and have escalated the problem to Microsoft (not just xbox). I cannot give you a time when the maps may become available."

I think they have a script now for this problem...

Actually that is incorrect. In most cases companies of this size have there main servers and backup servers. All that they need to do is open up the network to allow downloads request to be processed by the backup servers.

Here is the main problem. There is only a certain amount of upload bandwidth that a company can have. They probably have either a T3 line(44 Mb/s) or a OC-48 line(2 Gb/s). Most likely is the later, for the huge amount of bandwidth traffic to and from the servers. Therefore with the shear number of people trying to obtain the downloads and having certain Quality of Service standards (probably somewhere around 2 Mb/s) they must meet for the downloads, these lines could easily be taken up very quickly even if they have 30 servers with the content available for download.

Therefore when you send a request and the lines are full, the servers send back a request saying, "Sorry unable to do that right now". Then your system says that the download failed because it got that response from the server.

I know this because I am Network Communications major and I deal with this sorts of issues.

Basically either continue to try or wait a while, until there are less request being submitted and then try it.
