    Sorry, I dont recall my login for runtimedna.  When I try to re-register I am forwarded to Daz3d registration.

    So... any suggestions.  There are a few things I am interested to DL.

    Maybe, there is a procedure to follow I am not aware.

    If the reset name or password at RDNA doesn't work for you, then I try the same as I suggested for Debbie: Both email RDNA and submit a ticket to DAZ RDNA support

    oh well looks like i lost stuff, I unsubscribed from emails from both sites due to the amount of mails I was getting a while back. But It does make me think about buying anything else here now, thinking daz could end up going the same way.

    Hopefully I still have the things I bought there on one of my HDD's.

     

    *Oh Its ok I have the items on HDD but did login to my account on there just now.

    i see quite a few products here that I had purchased at RDNA that do not show in my account here. it is a matter of trying to llok close ... difficult now that its near impossible to cross reference.

    If you haven't downloaded everything, do it NOW!!

    This software helped me download my stuff (over 500 items!!!)

    Best of Luck!!!

     

    I was very happy about the downloader!

    Even when I was too late to get the product promos - but that was my fault, or real life's fault, as I just didn't have the time to download before Christmas.

     

    By the way: as RDNA had reset all downloads, you can see on the actual download pages 1 download for everything - apart from the files the Downloader didn't see.

    Those have 0 downloads.

    I found some Readme files (.txt) and one product that didn't have a zip file, only a .rar file ...

    There still seems to be time

    Question is if this means end of December or end of January. I suspect the message may have been there for some time (I saw it New Year's day), possibly since the store closed 15. December. RDNA usually first close sales days or even weeks after the announced date so maybe they're just a bit late here too. In other words, it might shut down at any time.

    New message on the RDNA site indicatesd this will be the end of January.

    The message on RDNA had said that downloads would be available until the end of Jauary; but as of right now the site is not responding. I hope they fix it.

    It looks like it was just a temporary outage as the site is now back up and running for downloads.

    There's an update for the downloader coming, it's only relevant though for those who have products on the Gift pages at RDNA and already have included or want to include these when creating a product list. It fixes a bug that causes the URL links for the Gift products to be mixed up. So wait for it if you are going to create a product list that includes Gift products.

    There'll also be an app for getting product page pictures and data via Wayback Machine using the links in product list. There's only a couple of weeks left to get these so it's a quick hack and not very well tested, but seems to be working OK.

    Both should be released tomorrow, will post in the RDNA Downloader thread about it.

    Thanks, Taozen! Would love to be able to grab those missing images from the Wayback Machine automagically.

    You're welcome! It's not fully automatic though, the pages on Wayback are quite complex to deal with and it would probably have taken too long to automate it, if possible at all. It's still fairly easy to get the content though, just a few clicks per product.

    Just a quick Heads Up in case somebody hasn't downloaded all their products from RDNA.

    Today is the last day for downloading from RDNA, at least nominally.
